Tauseeq Haider, arguably Pakistan’s most iconic bachelor, has maintained his unwed status after AI-generated images claimed he had married fellow actor Farah Saadia earlier this week.
Haider appeared on the show Rise and Shine with Zohaib Hassan and Nadia Khan where he said he found the whole thing “very disturbing” and urged content creators not to “hurt someone’s family life and privacy” in the pursuit of views.
Starting the segment on a jovial note, the actor recalled how he had woken up on Tuesday morning to a barrage of messages from everyone he knew. Some were congratulating him on getting married, others wanted to know why they hadn’t been told sooner.
Haider was, of course, puzzled and only saw his ‘wedding photos’ after scrolling through some chats. He said his first thought was, “Wow, what a bride and groom they’ve made [out of us].”
Haider said it took him around 10 minutes to actually understand what had happened, after which he called Saadia and said, “Congratulations Farah, we’re married now.” She was having none of it and asked what he was on about.
