Much to the joy of fans across Pakistan and internationally, iconic pop sensation Aima Baig has confirmed that she is officially married to Zain Ahmed, who is the driving force behind Rasta — his fashion label which he spells out as an adjective; a bridge between tradition and minimalism. The confirmation came late Tuesday night via a deeply personal and emotional Instagram post that instantly captured the hearts of millions.

The news is made even sweeter with revelations that she not only found love again but has also walked down the aisle — someone who she calls her “best friend”.
An Intimate Affair in Canada
Though the couple kept their special day private from the media and cameras, and it was only close friends who attended at both ends – as per sources close to Aima and Zain, the wedding ceremony took place in Canada. Just as we might expect from this low-key pair, the event was an intimate affair that included only a smattering of close family and friends.
Very few specifics surrounding the location, decoration or wardrobe have been released, indicating that this celebration is all about their love and not largely for public show. The couple’s private, overseas wedding also seems to be in line with their tendency to shy away from the intense media glare usually surrounding some of Pakistan’s names and faces.
