Pakistani politician Sharmila Faruqui recently found herself at the center of a storm on social media.
Faruqui, who is married to media tycoon Hashaam Riaz Sheikh, is enjoying her summer vacation in Europe with her family.
The couple has been exploring various destinations with their young son, including a visit to Disneyland Paris.
The encounter, which took place at the famous theme park, led to a series of photos being shared online.
Many social media users expressed their displeasure and questioned the propriety of a Pakistani politician’s engagement with a high-ranking Indian family. The backlash highlights the lingering sensitivities and tensions surrounding the Pakistan-India relationship.
The photos shared, which show a seemingly friendly interaction between the two families, have been met with mixed reviews.
Critics say such public displays of camaraderie could be seen as insensitive or politically charged given the current geopolitical climate.
