Javeria Abbasi shares personal story behind her ‘Su-Shi’ wedding

Renowned Pakistani actress Javeria Abbasi has opened up about her recent marriage, revealing that her Nikkah ceremony was uniquely designed to blend Sunni and Shia traditions, symbolizing unity and mutual respect.

Javeria, known for her enduring popularity and powerful presence on screen, remarried last year a personal milestone that was celebrated by many fans, though not without drawing criticism from some circles due to its timing shortly after her daughter’s wedding.

Speaking about the details of her wedding, Javeria described the event as a “Su-Shi Wedding” a heartfelt term she used to reflect the respectful inclusion of both Sunni and Shia customs in the ceremony.

“Our Nikah was performed according to the practices of both sects. We honoured the traditions of both families, and it made the ceremony all the more beautiful,” she said.

She explained that the approach was not only symbolic but deeply personal, aimed at celebrating both cultural and spiritual diversity within her new family.

Reflecting on this new chapter, the actress shared her feelings of contentment and emotional peace.
“This marriage has been a truly special experience. I’m confident and happy to begin this journey with my husband. It holds a memorable place in my life,” she added.

Although the actress received an outpouring of support from fans, she also faced criticism primarily due to the timing of her remarriage, which followed soon after her daughter’s wedding.

However, Javeria remained composed, choosing to focus on her personal happiness rather than public opinion, and emphasized the importance of owning one’s life decisions with confidence.
