People are talking a lot about former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s family wedding because of his granddaughter-in-law’s outfit choice, which caught everyone’s attention. Pictures from the wedding events showed the bride wearing clothes by the famous Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee, which caused a lot of discussion on the internet in Pakistan.
A well-known wedding in Lahore
The wedding celebrations took place in Lahore. Junaid Safdar married Shanzay Ali Rohail. Junaid is the grandson of Nawaz Sharif and the son of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz. Traditional rituals like the mehendi and nikah were held over several days, and close family and friends of the Sharif family were there.
While the wedding itself stayed private, pictures from the celebrations quickly went viral online, drawing attention to both how big the party was and what the bride wore to her most important events.
People are interested in Sabyasachi’s outfit
Indian fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee made Shanzay Ali Rohail’s emerald green gown, which she wore to the mehendi event. The outfit had traditional details and elaborate needlework, which is typical of the designer’s wedding style. Given the political and cultural tensions between India and Pakistan, the outfit stood out not only for how elegant it was but also for where it came from.
Wearing an Indian designer’s work to the wedding of a famous Pakistani political family quickly caused a lot of discussion, and many people on social media had something to say about it.
People on social media disagree about what to wear
Online, people had very different reactions. A few Pakistani Internet users were upset that the bride chose an Indian designer instead of one from Pakistan. Some users said that Pakistan has a strong and well-known fashion industry and that picking a foreign designer meant ignoring the work of Pakistani designers.
Others were even harsher, saying that the choice of clothing was connected to national feelings and political issues. They asked if such choices were acceptable given the two countries’ overall relationship. Different people had different things to say, from being disappointed to calling for more cultural expression through local designers.

At the same time, a lot of people on social media spoke out in support of Shanzay Ali Rohail and said it was her right to decide what she would wear to her wedding. People who supported the idea said that weddings are private events that shouldn’t be politicised or viewed through a nationalist lens.
A lot of people said that they like fashion from both sides of the border. For example, Indian celebrities often wear clothes by Pakistani designers and vice versa. They said that what people wear should be a matter of personal style and not be looked at by everyone.
More Talk About Fashion and Identity
A lot of people are talking about dress, identity, and the demands that people with powerful families have because of this show. Some people see foreign designer choices as a sign of global impact and personal expression, while others think these events should be used to show off homegrown talent and cultural pride.
As the argument about the incident continues online, it shows how quickly fashion choices can become symbols of bigger social and political issues, especially at events with a lot of attention. What began as a wedding party has become a symbol of how deeply identity, public opinion, and personal decisions all connect in the digital age.
