Why is Maryam Nawaz facing ire?

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif is facing the wrath of the netizens at her son's second marriage with netizens accusing her of overshadowing the bride. Maryam Nawaz’s bridal-style outfits divided opinion, while the bride faced criticism for wearing Indian designer ensembles. Even before the bride’s outfits became a topic of discussion, Maryam Nawaz herself became a focal point online. For her son’s mehendi ceremony, she wore a yellow and powder-orange lehenga, followed by a traditional mint-green ensemble for the wedding day.

“Maryam Nawaz and her never-ending obsession to dress up/act as a bride,” one user wrote. “Maryam Nawaz looks more beautiful than the bride,” commented another. However, criticism was equally vocal. “She did it to the first bahu and now she’s doing it again. Self-obsessed, pathetic log,” read a Reddit comment.

Another user remarked, “That’s the thing. The most important person in a wedding is the bride. Absolutely no one should wear better clothes than the bride.” “So why she dressed like a dulhan?” asked one commenter.
