Political talk momentarily gave way to fashion rumours at the opulent Lahore wedding of former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s grandson, Junaid Safdar, and Shanzay Ali Rohail – owing to Pakistan politician Marriyum Aurangzeb’s remarkable transformation.
The senior Punjab minister’s appearance at the high-profile event on January 18–19 sparked a viral wave of before-and-after comparisons across social media, with users debating everything from her facial features to possible cosmetic enhancements.
Marriyum’s surprise “glow-up,” which some claim gave her a supermodel-like appearance, suddenly turned what had begun as a bride-and-groom highlight reel into a social media spectacle.

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.”
