Viral Hakim Babar is in the spotlight again after claiming that he was allegedly poisoned.
According to Hakim Babar, a man identified as Safdar from Kotli Khokhran invited him to his home and allegedly served him juice that was mixed with poison. The claim quickly gained attention on social media, with many users expressing shock and demanding an investigation into the incident.
Hakim Babar also appealed to CM Maryam Nawaz for assistance, stating that his life is under threat. He urged the authorities to carry out a transparent and thorough inquiry into the matter and ensure strict legal action against anyone found responsible.
Earlier the wedding of 60-year-old Hakim Babar to a young woman in the city of Rawalpindi went viral after videos of the ceremony were shared across social media platforms.
Clips from the event uploaded to the social media platform portray the couple exchanging smiles, posing for photographs and taking part in traditional wedding rituals.
Family members can be seen celebrating alongside them.
The videos quickly went viral, prompting thousands of comments and reactions.
Couple say marriage was by mutual choice
In interviews shared online, Hakim Babar said the couple had first developed feelings for each other and later formalised the relationship through marriage. He added that his wife had previously been divorced.
He said both families were aware of the match and supported their decision. “Age is just a number,” he said in one clip, adding that people should feel young at heart.
The bride has not spoken extensively in public, but in short clips circulating online, the couple asked people to offer prayers and good wishes rather than criticism.
Public reaction divided
Social media users have responded in different ways. Some offered congratulations and said personal choices should not be judged by strangers.
Others questioned the age gap and made critical or humorous remarks.
Viral weddings are not uncommon in Pakistan, where private ceremonies often become public talking points once shared online.
Platforms such as TikTok, Instagram and Facebook have made it easier for personal milestones to turn into national discussions within hours.
