Junaid Niazi, a dashing Pakistani sensation who kicked off his career on the catwalk, has wowed the audience with his exceptional acting chops. His stepping stone to fame was the TV show “Sinf e Aahan,” where he shared the spotlight with Yumna Zaidi. These days, Junaid is turning heads and raising eyebrows with his edgy performance in the soap opera, ‘Baby Baji’. Even though his on-screen persona, Wasif, has stirred up controversy, fans can’t help but admire his thespian skills.
When the spotlight dims and the camera turns off, Junaid enjoys a blissful married life, complete with a lovely daughter. He recently spilled the beans on his intriguing love story. Junaid’s wife, Shajia, took a trip down memory lane and said, “Believe it or not, it was Junaid’s dad who spotted me first. We hail from the same locale, carry the Niazi tribe name, and our families are acquainted. Yet, our paths never crossed. It was during one of my TV appearances that his father noticed me and took a shine to me. Lo and behold, my career turned cupid in my life. When Junaid’s father delved a bit deeper, he realized we’re kin, and then, well, the rest is history.”
Junaid chimed in, “I was down under in Australia when my dad showed me her photos. I was gobsmacked! He left me alone with her pictures. Engrossed in my studies, I asked my folks to vet the proposal. Little did I know they’d take that as a yes, and just like that, my wedding bells were ringing!”
Shajia confessed that she didn’t have wedding bells on her mind, but found herself nodding yes to the proposal. Adding a twist to the tale, she revealed that her mother sought divine guidance through Istikhara (a prayer for seeking Allah’s counsel). In her words, “Everything was happening so fast, it was like a whirlwind romance.”
So, that’s the story of Junaid Niazi, the heartthrob actor and model from Pakistan, whose off-screen romance is as captivating as his on-screen performances. A modern-day fairy tale of how destiny, a keen-eyed father, and a TV program brought two hearts together. Talk about a script that’s straight out of a rom-com!
