Five months ago, a video got viral in which a girl named Hadiqa was proposing to a boy, Shehryar, at the University of Lahore in front of the entire university. This video was widely criticized than appreciated because of the societal norms of Pakistan. In Pakistan, adults must consult their families first to take such a decision. Deciding to marry someone is considered a sacred decision. It can’t be the mere consent of students as they are considered juvenile.
Now after 6 months, in response to interviews of the boy being proposed, the girl proposing, gave a response to the anchor of YouTube channel, in which she said that they had no contact with each other and what Shehryar said in an interview that he will reconsider his decision after 2 years sound more like he is not serious in this relationship and they haven’t been in contact with each other for a long time.
Responding to a question about the issues Hadiqa is facing following the events, she stated she has been facing problems and criticism after this incident from the family. She also added that she had no idea these videos of her would go so viral.
She also said that things have been quite easy to handle for her with the support of her father, otherwise it was too difficult for her. She also said that young ones should involve their families if they want to do something like that so that their families support them if anything goes wrong.
