Pakistani singer, songwriter, and rapper Hasan Raheem, known for his effortlessly cool R&B and hip-hop style, has entered a new chapter in his life: marriage.

 

Belonging to a Shina family from Gilgit in the Gilgit-Baltistan region, Hasan celebrated his big day in a heartwarming ceremony that beautifully reflected the rich traditions of his homeland.

 

On his wedding day, he embraced local heritage, wearing an ivory shalwar kameez paired with the traditional Gilgit cap, adorned with a feather, and an ivory shawl — a look symbolizing pride and cultural identity. The atmosphere was filled with music, laughter, and dancing as friends and family joined in the celebrations.

 

What usually happens in a traditional Gilgit-Baltistan wedding

Weddings in Gilgit-Baltistan are vibrant, multi-day events that blend cultural rituals with joyous festivities. Celebrations often begin with dhol and dance processions, as well as community gatherings where relatives and neighbors actively take part in the preparations.

 

Engagements are a family affair, where elders play a central role in formalizing the match. In some cases, the couple may not meet in person before the wedding, instead communicating through family arrangements, photographs, or occasional phone conversations.

 

Brides traditionally wear heavily embroidered dresses in bright colors, paired with ornate jewelry and the region’s distinctive headpieces decorated with beads and silver ornaments. Grooms usually wear a crisp white or ivory shalwar kameez, sometimes with a waistcoat, along with the traditional cap, which is often decorated with a feather as a sign of festivity and pride.

This isn’t the first time fans have seen Hasan as a dulha, but this time, it’s the real deal. The singer kept the celebration private, choosing not to share official photos, but moments from the nikkah still found their way onto social media.

 

Just a few months ago, Hasan had playfully “announced” his marriage in an Instagram post, which later turned out to be part of a music video project. That lighthearted stunt left fans guessing, and when news of his actual wedding surfaced, reactions ranged from disbelief to cheeky banter.

 

One fan joked, “Guys, it’s AI 👏.” Another teased, “Koi baat nahi girlies, better luck next time.” Others asked, “Is this real this time??” and “Prank hai guys, prank.”

 

Back in April, the singer had posted a picture sitting beside a woman in a stunning purple outfit, her face turned away from the camera, while he wore a tea-pink kurta shalwar, creating a soft, intimate wedding vibe. He captioned it with a privacy request, warning against sharing any images or videos from “our wedding.”

 

A month later, in May, the Peechay Hutt hitmaker revealed it was all part of the promotional campaign for his song MEMORIES featuring Justin Bibis, even joking in a video, “Abhi bhi kunwara hun 🙏🏻.”
