Netizens react as Mahira Khan's wedding video gets viral
Netizens compared Mahira Khan's marriage, naughty kids, indignant aunties, angry dads and cameramen.
Muree: The recent wedding of Pakistan's renowned actress, Mahira Khan, held on October 1st at the serene Malika Kohsar in Murree, has sparked intrigue and comparisons among social media users.
The highly private and meticulously organized ceremony left onlookers in awe and ignited discussions contrasting it with more traditional weddings.
The wedding united Mahira Khan with her close friend and business tycoon, Salim Karim.
While the actress had hinted at her marriage plans beforehand, the actual event garnered considerable attention.
Amidst the buzz surrounding the wedding, only a single video surfaced, shared by Mahira's brother, Hassan, and her manager.
It was this video that captured the essence of the event, prompting social media users to draw comparisons with the typical 'desi' weddings commonly witnessed in Pakistan.
One user, drew an amusing parallel between Mahira Khan's wedding and traditional Pakistani weddings, generating laughter and smiles among readers.
The user humorously described the contrast, stating, "One is this wedding and one is the wedding of middle-class people, where there is a crowd in front of the stage like free food is being distributed, 4-5 children are running like they won the gold medal in the Olympics. The cameraman's 'Look here, turn your face a little towards me' is not much."
The post resonated with readers who shared their own anecdotes and experiences.
Some users playfully mentioned how aunties often critique the food at weddings, while others reminisced about children energetically running around at such events since 1991.
One user even humorously suggested that children might have been excluded from the video, possibly due to wedding cards specifying not to bring them.
Mahira Khan's second marriage, this time to Salim Karim, comes after her first marriage to Ali Askari in 2007, which lasted until 2015.
In 2009, she welcomed her son, Azlan Askari.
