Pakistani singer Hasan Raheem ties the knot: Internet celebrates Gen-Z star's wedding
You may know him from breakout hits like Joona, Aisay Kaisay and Wishes: songs that made him a Gen-Z sensation and had entire timelines humming along. Now, Hasan Raheem has given his fans another reason to buzz. The Pakistani singer-songwriter is officially married, and the Internet has gone into overdrive since he shared glimpses of the celebrations on Instagram. This isn't the first time Hasan has toyed with the idea. Earlier this year, he cheekily staged a wedding announcement as part of a music video rollout, leaving fans unsure of what to believe. But this time, it's the real deal. His caption, 'Teri chaiye ni raaye | Real hai,' settled the confusion once and for all. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hasan Raheem (@hasan_raheem) The ceremony itself was steeped in Gilgiti tradition. Hasan wore a white shalwar kameez topped with a floral-embroidered overcoat and the iconic parxin cap adorned with a peacock feather. The bride looked resplendent in a pastel blue attire with intricate detailing. A host of Pakistani celebrities, from Momina Mustehsan and Ahmed Ali Akbar to Uzair Jaswal and Osman Khalid Butt, were also spotted among the guests. Of course, fans had their own reactions. Many, initially skeptical after the earlier prank, were quick to celebrate once the photos surfaced. One comment summed it up perfectly: 'I've never seen a happier groom.' From chart-topping hits to wedding trends, Hasan seems to have mastered the art of staying in the spotlight, but always adding his unique touch to the mix.
