Punjab’s Senior Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb has become the center of attention on social media after her appearance at Junaid Safdar’s wedding went viral. Pictures and videos of the minister, showing a noticeably different look, spread quickly across social media platforms and received hundreds of reactions within hours.
Many users praised what they called her “glow-up” and described her appearance as elegant and graceful.
Several people compared her current look with her earlier appearances at press conferences and public events.
They pointed out her slimmer frame and sharper facial features, which sparked wide discussion online.

However, along with praise, speculation also began to circulate. Some social media users compared her recent photos with older ones and claimed that she may have undergone cosmetic procedures.
A few unverified posts suggested the use of weight-loss injections like Ozempic or other treatments. These claims, however, were not backed by any evidence.
In response to these rumors, Marriyum Aurangzeb’s mother, Tahira Aurangzeb, came forward to clarify the matter.

میری بیٹی پچھلے کوئی 2۔۔3 ماہ سے بڑی سخت ڈائٹ پر ہیں میں نے بھی منع کیا ہے وہ صرف چائے اور کافی پی رہی ہیں، اب تھوڑی پتلی ہوئی ہیں تو ایسی لگ رہی ہیں باقی کوئی سرجری وغیرہ نہیں کروائی،طاہرہ اورنگزیب pic.twitter.com/rEpfbkCl0K
She said her daughter had not undergone any surgery and that her changed appearance was due to a strict diet followed over the past two to three months.
She said Marriyum had been taking only tea and coffee and had lost weight which explained her new look.
Some social media users also pointed out that Marriyum looked similar even six months ago, calling the current debate unnecessary.
Doesn't understand why people caught by surprize about Marriyum Aurangzaib transformation.
