The wedding celebrations of Junaid Safdar, son of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, began with a vibrant mehndi ceremony at Jati Umra on January 16, 2026. The groom is marrying Shanzeh Rohale, granddaughter of senior PML-N leader Sheikh Rohale Asghar, in his second marriage following his 2023 divorce.
Security was tight at the venue, with special arrangements made to protect the high-profile guests and maintain privacy for the families.
The groom chose a tailored navy blue sherwani designed by Hassan Sheheryar Yasin (HSY), one of Pakistan’s top designers. He paired the sherwani with a classic camel-colored (brown) shawl that added a regal touch to his appearance.

* Sequin embellishments
Shanzeh completed her look with heavy kundan and polki statement jewelry, a sleek hair bun, and glossy nude makeup done by celebrity artist Saad Samie. The traditional Indian bridal aesthetic perfectly complemented the green theme of the evening.
