Set to Junoon’s iconic song “Hai Jazba Junoon, Tu Himmat Na Haar” (translated as “You have passion, you should not lose courage”), the photos embody resilience and the ability to find joy even in challenging times. One standout shot features Khola positioned perfectly between the numbers “8” and “4,” a detail that caught the attention of netizens.
The captions accompanying the photos added a playful touch, with one reading, “POV: It’s your lifetime event, and the lockdown said hi.” Another quipped, “When your big day arrives, but the city is all locked up.”

With Islamabad’s roads heavily barricaded by containers and wedding halls, parks, and typical photoshoot locations closed or inaccessible, the couple chose to embrace the circumstances rather than delay their shoot. Their ingenuity turned the lockdown’s restrictions into a striking aesthetic, delighting the public.
Social media was abuzz with praise for their creativity and positive spirit. Comments hailed the photos as “the best photoshoot of a lifetime,” while others admired the couple’s zinda dili (liveliness). Some joked about the possibility of tear gas wafting in the background, while others noted the political significance of the graffiti on the containers.
Khola and Qasim have truly demonstrated how to turn lemons into lemonade, capturing a moment of joy in difficult times—and the nation couldn’t be happier for them.
