Pakistan’s acclaimed television stars, Samina Ahmed and Manzar Sehbai took fans by surprise after they got married earlier this month.
Circulating reports suggested that the two legendary stars of Pakistan’s entertainment industry were joined in marriage on April 4, 2020, with a picture from their nuptials also making rounds online.
Ahmed and Sehbai, both 70, were beaming with joy on their big day as the viral picture showed the bride embodying grace and elegance in a saree paired with a pearl necklace and earrings.
On the other hand, the Alif actor looked dapper wearing a priceless smile as he hugged his new wife, wearing a white shirt with a matching vest.In light of the current coronavirus lockdown, the wedding unquestionably appeared to be a secret and intimate affair with neither of the actors or fellow industry insiders announcing it publicly.Prior to this, Ahmed had been married to filmmaker Fareed Ahmad who passed away in 1993. The dada from Alif and Suno Chanda’s Beejaan looked absolutely adorable in their picture circulating on the internet since last night. The wedding was clearly a low key affair, with no other pictures of the couple or the event found anywhere. There has been no public announcement from the celebrities either.The former has been a part of the television industry since 50 years now and Sehbai has many dramas under his belt too. He also made his big screen debut with Shoaib Mansoor’s Bol. The Dolly Ki Ayegi Baraat star’s former husband Fariduddin Ahmed passed away back in 1993.
The two have been trending on Twitter since the news of their nuptials first broke. Fans are lauding them for breaking the stereotypes and even comparing their marriage to that of the 18-year-old couple that went viral recently, adding that this one is better.
“They set a better trend than those 18-year-old kids did. No publicity, nothing, even though as actors, they need a limelight. But no. Simplicity ki misaal qaim kardi (They have set the standard of simplicity). Best people,” wrote a user.Another wrote, “There must be millions of tiny moments that created your love story. Samina Ahmed looking gorgeous as always. A beautiful couple made in heaven.”
One said, “Shattering taboos of not marrying in old age.”
A fan wrote on Instagram, “Age is just a number! Veteran actors #SaminaAhmed and #ManzarSehbai found love and cemented it with marriage in the autumn of their beautiful lives. May they be forever young and free where it matters: in their hearts.”Meanwhile, some fans took their example to advise others on how they can restart their lives at any age by getting married whenever they want.
Another user penned an elaborate note warning people not to criticise Ahmed since she had worked really hard all her life, raising her children alone. “Please don’t criticise this couple. Samina Ahmed has worked really hard to raise her children as a single mother,” she said.
