YouTuber and social media influencer Azlan Shah, known for gifting a donkey to his bride at their wedding, faced strong backlash after he posted a dramatic announcement claiming he is “getting married again.”

 

Azlan shared an Instagram story telling fans he had something important to reveal. He wrote that he felt it was his responsibility to share the news himself before anyone else did. 

 

The announcement confused many followers and triggered a wave of reactions. Some thought he was joking, others believed he was serious, and a few sent harsh messages.

 

Now after few hours, Azlan posted a video with his wife, Dr Vareesha Javed Khan, to clarify that he had played a prank. He began the video by saying many people accused him of lying and even cursing him after reading his original post.

He then offered a clarification: “It is true, I am getting married again. I am marrying again, but not doing a second marriage. I am marrying Vareesha again,” he said. He added that it was simply their anniversary surprise and not an announcement about taking another wife.

 

Vareesha, who was beside him in the video, said his way of announcing it was very bad. Azlan apologised again and again, saying, “I am sorry and I love you.”

 

She added, “I cannot even let him think about a second marriage,” which made Azlan quickly add another apology.

 

However, followers were not amused and called the prank tasteless.

 

One user wrote, “Ah, just what we need. Another generation of men making ‘doosri shaadi’ jokes. These problematic norms keep getting passed down like unwanted heirlooms.”

 

Another commented, “You need to come up with something better. I love you guys but this idea is a big no.”

 

Some questioned the intention behind the stunt. One user asked, “Is gaining attention more important than having morals?”

 

Another reaction read, “Trust me, you two are smarter than this. This was a really bad idea.”

 

Others criticised the stunt more harshly. “Sasti shohrat bhai, nothing else,” wrote one user. Another said, “Attention chaheye the views kam arahy tey.”

 

Someone commented, “Such a cheap way to gain attention.”

 

And one user even warned him jokingly, “Bohat gaalian parengi bhai, comments off kar do.”

 

Despite the backlash, Azlan tried to keep the tone of the video light by laughing with Vareesha and repeatedly apologising. But social media was not ready to let this one slide easily, especially because jokes about “second marriage".

 

Azlan and Vareesha married in 2022 and share a two-year-old daughter. The couple is known for their playful content, but this time their prank landed differently.
