Musician Bilal Maqsood, son of veteran Pakistani writer and comedian Anwar Maqsood, has requested social media users and pages to respect his family's privacy after pictures from his daughter's wedding started circulating online without permission over the weekend. 

The singer and producer initially shared a heartwarming photo on Instagram featuring himself, his father Anwar Maqsood, and his two sons, all dressed in matching outfits at the wedding ceremony. The picture quickly went viral, with fans flooding the post with prayers for the newlyweds.

In the caption, Bilal wrote: "Our children and their grandfather are present at our daughter's wedding."

However, the situation took an uncomfortable turn when various social media pages began posting private pictures from the event.

Responding to the unauthorized sharing, Bilal posted a message on Instagram urging respect for his family's privacy. "With love and respect we've noticed some private event photos being picked up by pages. Guests shared these in good faith, but we'd like to keep the celebrations private," he wrote.

He specifically addressed media pages, requesting them to "Please only reshare what I personally post on my socials, and avoid any other pictures/videos. Grateful for your cooperation. Thank you for understanding."

Bilal Maqsood's daughter Zehra tied the knot with Artur in a wedding ceremony on Sunday. Close family members and Zehra's foreign in-laws attended the ceremony.
