In the video, the groom pulls out a wrapped frame. He unfolds it onstage and reveals a picture of Imran Khan to the bride.
Imran Khan, Pakistan’s former prime minister, continues to loom big not just in the country’s politics but has become something of a populist messiah. The 71-year-old is the nation’s most beloved leader despite being barred from participating in general elections. He is also Pakistan’s most famous sports figure, and winning the World Cup in 1992 was the cherry on top for a cricket-devoted nation. For several individuals, Khan represents the saviour who can rebuild Pakistan’s reputation globally. This is evidenced by the viral event in which a man presented his bride with a framed photograph of Khan.

On X, a video showing the groom giving the Khan’s photograph went viral. The pair can be seen standing on a stage in the video. As flowers pour on them, the groom pulls out a wrapped frame. He unfolds it onstage and reveals a picture of Khan. The bride laughs out loud the moment she sees it. During that same moment, guests could be heard cheering loudly.
The post had 716,200 views on the social media platform at the time of reporting. However, the comments section stood divided by the gesture.
The user who shared the video captioned it saying, “Becoming a common occurrence now. How long before they put a ban on this?”
A user wrote, “We are a nation with a “ban” mindset. There is no room for others’ opinions or affections unless they are similar to our own.”
Another user said, “First they’ll release a video of couples with Maryam Nawaz’s pictures at their wedding. once they’re sure it isn’t having the desired effect, they’ll ban it.”

Yet another user stated, “Yeah it’s their life, their call – but I wouldn’t be associated with such a mindset of people.”
“You don’t like it. skip the video. They like to do it let them do it,” commented another user.
It appears from reading through the comments that the caption needs some clarification. Apparently, the person was not seeking to ban such items, but rather asking a very rhetorical question “How long before they put a ban on this?” Here, they speak for the opposing governing party, which is making every effort to outlaw the Khan wave.
