Junaid Safdar, the son of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, is making headlines once again with news of his upcoming wedding. The young man is set to marry a woman with significant family connections, as his fiancée is the granddaughter of Javed Shafi, who is a cousin of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. This marriage will strengthen ties between two prominent families in Pakistan’s political and business circles.
The wedding is scheduled to take place in either November or December of this year. The proposal was reportedly made just about a month ago, marking the beginning of their journey toward matrimony. Junaid’s fiancée is the daughter of Usman Javed Shafi, further establishing the deep familial bond between the two families.
This upcoming wedding will be Junaid’s second, following his first marriage to Ayesha Saif, daughter of former senator Saifur Rehman, which took place in 2021. Unfortunately, the couple parted ways in October 2023, ending their two-year marriage. The separation, though not extensively publicized, drew attention due to the high-profile nature of both families involved.
Junaid Safdar completed his education in the United Kingdom and is currently residing in Lahore, where he is active in both family affairs and public life. His first marriage to Ayesha Saif was seen as a significant event due to the political and business connections both families held. After the end of this marriage, many were curious about his next steps, and now, with this new relationship, it appears he is moving forward in his personal life.
The wedding is anticipated to be a grand affair, with family and political connections ensuring a significant amount of public attention. This marriage is also expected to strengthen the ties between Junaid’s mother, Maryam Nawaz, and other influential figures in Pakistan’s political landscape.
