Tu ghanti big ban di, poora London thumakda...
Oh jaddo nachche pehn di, poora London thumakda...

Kabhi kabhi mere dil me khayal aata hai, kee jaise tujhko banaya gaya hai mere liye…

Bollywood classics and the latest romantic pop songs blared against images of Imran and Reham Khan as a sense of festivity occupied most channels yesterday. As low-key and simple the marriage ceremony was, it managed to kick up an even bigger storm in Pakistan.

Jon Boone of the Guardian noted and wrote:

For Pakistan’s news channels, it was the equivalent of a starting pistol fired on a sudden royal wedding, but with no footage to satisfy the audience.

They did their best, overlaying with fireworks the few available stills of the couple, while traditional wedding music played over the video of impromptu celebrations thrown by Khan’s supporters around the country.
