Before and After Buzz

Currently serving as Punjab’s Senior Minister for Information and Environment, Marriyum Aurangzeb, 45, is a prominent member of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). She has been an iconic public personality over time, known for her political views and her participation in the Sharif-led party since 2013.

Images and short clips of Marriyum from Junaid Safdar’s wedding festivities quickly went viral, sparking a lot of discussion as many pointed out that, compared to her previous public appearances, she had a sharper jawline, a slimmer body, and a bright complexion.

While some expressed surprise that it was the same political person they were accustomed to seeing in press briefings, many appreciated her appearance, comparing her elegance to that of celebrities.

Social Media Reactions

Social media reactions showed how shocking the transformation appeared to many, ranging from praise (“She looks like a supermodel”) to joking doubt (“Is this really Marriyum Aurangzeb?”). Alongside the appreciation, others speculated about possible causes for her new look, putting out suggestions like weight-loss injections, lifestyle modifications, or cosmetic surgeries, none of which have been verified.

An X (formerly Twitter) user praised her look and wrote, “This is real transformation. Before and after.  When you have a will everything is possible. Very impressive Maryam Aurangzeb.”
