The intimate Nikah ceremony of well-known psychologist and social media influencer Dr. Nabiha Ali Khan to her long-time friend, Haris Khokhar, has transformed into a national spectacle in Pakistan, dominated by dual controversies involving extreme wealth and widespread online misinformation. The union, while blessed by the highly esteemed Maulana Tariq Jameel, has quickly shifted the public discourse from congratulations to heated debate, Daily Dazzling Dawn realized.
The Grand Claim: PKR 2 Crore Bridal Look Ignites Social Fury-At the heart of the controversy is Dr. Nabiha’s own public disclosure regarding the value of her bridal attire. She asserted that her complete look, combining a custom bridal gown from designer Hina Salman and a substantial set of traditional jewelry, was worth an astonishing PKR 2 crore (20 million rupees). Specifics cited include a PKR 1 crore price tag for the dress and up to 40 Tola gold for the jewelry set.
This unapologetic declaration of extravagance has drawn immediate and fierce condemnation across all digital platforms. Critics argue the public display of such massive wealth is insensitive and inappropriate, especially given the current socio-economic challenges faced by the majority of Pakistanis. Industry insiders, including veteran actress Mishi Khan, have joined the outcry, urging prominent influencers to recognize their social responsibility and avoid setting unrealistic and damaging standards for their young, aspirational followers. The intense backlash pits the new culture of digital celebrity financial transparency against traditional public expectations of modesty.
Misinformation Overwhelming the Facts: The Maulana Tariq Jameel Connection-Further complicating the story is the massive online confusion regarding the role of Maulana Tariq Jameel. Despite the ceremony being an intimate affair held at the revered scholar's residence, the viral narrative circulating on social media has falsely claimed that Dr. Nabiha Ali Khan is his daughter.
It must be clarified that this is entirely untrue. The esteemed religious figure simply extended a special, personal blessing to the couple by agreeing to solemnize the Nikah himself, a decision Dr. Nabiha noted was made just two days prior to the event. This widespread and rapid dissemination of misinformation has only amplified the scrutiny on the wedding, highlighting the challenges of fact-checking in the digital age.
Candid Reason for Remarriage: A Life Beyond Loss-Adding another layer of public intrigue is the context of Dr. Nabiha’s personal life. The Nikah with Haris Khokhar marks her second marriage. She was previously married to a film producer who was 15 years her senior and passed away approximately four years ago. Dr. Nabiha has been remarkably candid about the pain and void left by his passing, often discussing the importance of companionship and moving forward. The groom, Haris Khokhar, is described as a long-time friend and colleague who is reportedly younger than the bride.
While detailed information about Dr. Nabiha Ali Khan's father or wider family is not publicly available, her openness about her grief and the search for happiness after being widowed provides a personal context to the marriage, which now sits controversially alongside the extreme financial claims that have defined its place in the public eye. The couple, who appeared radiant despite the ongoing online firestorm, are expected to host a grand Walima reception soon.
