LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s son, Junaid Safdar, is reportedly preparing for his second marriage after a new match was finalised.
According to sources, Junaid Safdar’s upcoming marriage has been arranged with the granddaughter of senior PML-N leader Sheikh Rohail Asghar. The bride, daughter of Ali Rohail Asghar, will unite two prominent political families.
Insiders say that PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and the broader Sharif family have given their approval for the match. A formal gathering between the Sharif and Rohail Asghar families has also reportedly been held as part of the wedding preparations.
The wedding is expected to take place either in the last week of December or in January, though the final date has not been officially confirmed.
This will be Junaid Safdar’s second marriage. He was previously married to Ayesha Saif, daughter of former NAB chairman and Qatar-based businessman Saifur Rahman Khan. The couple divorced amicably in October 2023. Their first wedding was held in 2021 at The Lanesborough in London’s Knightsbridge during Nawaz Sharif’s exile.
