Merub Ali, known for her roles in popular dramas like Sinf e Aahan, Paristaan, Wabaal, and Faraar, rose to further prominence after her engagement to Asim Azhar in March 2022. The engagement, which took place in a private family ceremony, was heavily featured on social media.
Their relationship had been under public scrutiny since the beginning, especially following Asim’s widely discussed breakup with actress Hania Aamir. The couple often appeared together at events and on each other’s social media, making their bond highly visible to fans.
Following the breakup announcement, Merub’s stunning brand shoot drew massive online reactions. Admirers praised her look, with many calling it a “post-breakup glow-up.” Some users compared her style to that of Bollywood icon Aishwarya Rai, with comments like “The glow is real” and “You look effortlessly beautiful” circulating widely.
The viral attention surrounding Merub’s photos highlights the intense fascination the public has with celebrity relationships in Pakistan’s entertainment industry. Despite the split, both Merub and Asim have remained silent beyond their initial statements, urging fans to respect their privacy during this time.
The couple had been engaged for over two years, during which they largely kept their personal lives private and focused on their respective careers.
