The wedding celebrations of Junaid Safdar, son of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz and grandson of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, have officially started in Lahore. The family has begun preparations at their residence in Jati Umrah, marking the start of a high-profile wedding event.
According to local media reports, the festivities will continue over several days with close family and friends attending the ceremonies.
Junaid Safdar is set to marry Shanzay, the granddaughter of veteran politician and former National Assembly member Sheikh Rohale Asghar. The match has drawn public attention due to the strong political and family ties between both sides.
Sources close to the family say the wedding brings together two respected households with long-standing connections.
The wedding celebrations will begin on January 16, followed by traditional ceremonies spread across different venues in Lahore.
Family arrangements are being handled privately, with security and hospitality managed carefully due to the family’s public status.
The walima ceremony will take place at Sharif Farms in Jati Umrah, a location often used for major family gatherings. The event is expected to host close relatives, political figures, and family friends.
Despite public interest, the Sharif family has chosen to keep celebrations graceful and limited in scale.
Last month, Sheikh Rohale Asghar confirmed the marriage rumors, explaining how the proposal came about. He shared that Shanzay and Mahnoor Safdar, Junaid’s sister, are close friends and often visit each other’s homes.
He also revealed that Shanzay had met Maryam Nawaz several times, which helped build trust between the families. Later, Maryam Nawaz formally approached Shanzay’s father with the proposal.
Rohale Asghar described the union as a blessing and expressed happiness over his granddaughter joining such a prominent family.
The Junaid Safdar marriage has become a popular topic on social media, with many congratulatory messages pouring in. Supporters and well-wishers are sharing prayers and warm wishes for the couple as the wedding days approach.
