Last night, PTI broke the much anticipated news of Imran Khan’s 3rd marriage on Twitter following which the microblogging website was soon flooded with a tsunami (pun intended) of tweets congratulating the newly wed couple.
With #MubarakImranKhan still topping the trends, here is how Pakistanis responded to the news.

PTI’s official Twitter account shared following pictures of the ceremony in order to confirm Imran Khan’s 3rd marriage. IK tied the knot with Bushra Manika on Sunday in what seemed like a low-key affair.
The Nikah happened today, Sunday 18th February at around 9:00 PM in the company of close family and friends.#MubarakImranKhan pic.twitter.com/DJWSMH3O6M

The wedding also raised an outcry among certain factions who not only questioned IK’s decision of marrying for the third time but also targeted Bushra Manika for her veil in the pictures. However, all such negativity was soon countered by Twitterati who called out all those spoiling the happy moment.

Not a PTI person but it’s really disappointing to see people bashing IK about his marriage. He actually deserves appreciation for choosing a halal way even when he can get alot of beautiful girls without doing Nikkah.
Pls keep your negative minds out of this.

Stop talking or attacking Bushra Manika just because she takes hijab/ pardah or chose to cover her face, what's wrong in it? Get a life please🙏🏻 #ImranWedsBushra #MubarakImranKhan

No wonder Bushra Manika also took to Twitter to reciprocate the love she had received.

Marriage can never be discussed in Pakistan without mentioning the most eligible bachelor in town. Hence, Sheikh Rasheed enters the scene!

Imran Khan is married for 3rd time and meanwhile Sheikh Rasheed is still satisfied with good night calls only. pic.twitter.com/iPP7HjsnJU

Whether Sheikh Saab will give in to the pressure or not is whole another debate, for now we at Bolo Jawan wish the newly weds a happy married life and pray that IK finally finds all the happiness he has been looking for in the beautiful relationship of marriage!
GOD BLESS!
