Director Asim Raza’s daughter, Maryam Raza, recently tied the knot in a spectacular wedding celebration in Karachi that became one of the most star-studded events of the season. The bride, who is the granddaughter of late General Pervez Musharraf, reportedly paid tribute to her father’s iconic 2016 film “Ho Mann Jahaan” by recreating Mahira Khan’s memorable bridal look from the movie.
In “Ho Mann Jahaan,” Mahira Khan’s character Manizeh wore an elegant white ensemble for a pivotal scene that became one of the film’s most visually striking moments. The simplicity and grace of that look left a lasting impression on Pakistani cinema audiences, making it an iconic bridal aesthetic.
For her own nikkah ceremony, Maryam Raza reportedly chose a similar elegant white outfit, channeling the same understated sophistication that made Mahira’s look so memorable. The choice held special significance given that her father, Asim Raza, directed “Ho Mann Jahaan,” which starred Mahira Khan alongside Sheheryar Munawar and Adeel Hussain.
The wedding drew an impressive guest list, including Mahira Khan, Sheheryar Munawar, Sonya Jehan, Zara Noor Abbas, Feeha Jamshed, Yumna Zaidi, Wahaj Ali, and Fawad Khan. The presence of the original “Ho Mann Jahaan” cast members made the tribute even more special, creating a full-circle moment that connected the film’s legacy to this personal celebration.
Mahira Khan and Sheheryar Munawar particularly brought their on-screen chemistry to life during the mehndi celebrations, dancing together and recreating the magic that made “Ho Mann Jahaan” such a beloved film.
The recreation demonstrates how Pakistani cinema creates lasting cultural moments that inspire real-life celebrations, with brides drawing from memorable film aesthetics for their own special days.
