Asim Azhar and Merub Ali have made things official, with both the stars sharing the news of their engagement in twin posts on Instagram.
The Announcement
Both, Asim Azhar and Merub Ali, shared pictures from the engagement, where the pair were beaming with happiness. The caption read: “Shukar Alhamdulillah. With the grace of Allah Almighty and our parent’s duas, we announce our Imam Zamin – engagement. May Allah SWT and Ahlebait keep us protected and this happy forever, Aameen. Keep us in your prayers.”
Past Drama
While the model and now actress, who is debuting in Sinf e Aahan has been a part of the singing sensation’s life for quite some time, owing to the relationship shared between the families, time and again, the couple has had to provide justifications.
For instance, people within the audience were unaware of how Asim Azhar and Merub Ali know each other. This led to many believing that they might be related. Others thought they were just friends. Some even believed they had been in an official relationship all along.
Merub clarified the matter in an interview back in December that the pair were, in fact, neither siblings, cousins, nor related in any other way whatsoever. She stated that they are family friends and have known each other since they were children. Moreover, she shed light on the fact that her brother is Asim’s best friend and their mothers are best friends as well.
Further Rumors
Despite this being an incredibly joyous occasion for the couple and their families, Asim Azhar and Merub Ali have had to provide further justifications with regards to their relationship.
A tweet posted by Asim, where he shared an earlier post about a fake screenshot, doubled as another clarification.
Now, as news regarding the engagement began making the rounds, Asim reshared the tweet and stated the following:
Current Drama
Furthermore, Merub Ali has had to speak up regarding rumors, referencing a screenshot that highlighted that the couple had already gotten engaged on 27 July 2021, and are sharing the news now, with Hania Aamir also being dragged into the situation.
She took to Instagram to ask people to “refrain from spreading false [information], fake dates, and ESPECIALLY refrain from bringing other humans down” to celebrate the couple.
Undoubtedly, the entire fiasco is highly unfortunate, given that this is a time of celebration for Asim Azhar and Merub Ali. Amongst all the noise, here’s hoping that the young couple embark upon this journey with nothing but well wishes and prayers.
