Pakistani singer Asim Azhar and actress Merub Ali have announced the end of their engagement after three years, requesting privacy and understanding from their fans during this period of change.
In a late-night Instagram story on Wednesday, Asim Azhar shared that the decision to part ways was made after a “great deal of thought and reflection.” The singer explained that the couple had decided to move forward separately, but with mutual respect and peace.
“Merub and I have chosen to move forward on separate paths peacefully and mutually,” Azhar wrote. “While we shared meaningful moments and genuinely hoped for a future together, life sometimes takes its course.”
The statement further emphasised their respect for one another, noting: “We have the utmost respect for each other and the families involved, and always will. We kindly ask for your understanding and privacy during this time, and hope this is met with the same grace with which it is being shared.”
The couple had become engaged in March 2022, in a ceremony attended by close family members. Their engagement was shared publicly through coordinated Instagram posts, where both Azhar and Ali posted identical photos from the event.
While the couple had kept their personal life relatively private, they were often seen together at events and supported each other’s professional endeavours
