Amid the ongoing Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protests in Islamabad, a wedding couple staged a strikingly unconventional photoshoot against the backdrop of government-installed containers.
The couple, Khola and Qasim, posed in front of the vibrant blue and red containers that were placed to block routes as PTI convoys moved toward the capital. The bride dazzled in a silver-white traditional wedding gown, while the groom wore a sleek grey suit.
The photoshoot, captured by an Islamabad-based photographer, quickly went viral after being shared on social media. Reactions from netizens were mixed, with some praising the creativity while others found it unusual and unconventional.
The photographer’s Instagram caption highlighted the challenges the couple faced, mentioning the city’s lockdown, school closures, and halted movement due to the protests. “When you couldn’t find any other location on your big day. Since it was all locked up. For Khola & Qasim,” the caption read.
PTI convoys, marching from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to Islamabad, have demanded the release of their party leader Imran Khan and addressed other political grievances. The government’s response included roadblocks, barricades, and complete lockdowns in several areas, paralyzing daily life in the capital.
