Pakistani actress and morning show host Nida Yasir has addressed speculation surrounding the nationality of fellow actress Neelam Muneer’s husband.

Neelam recently gained attention for her lavish wedding in Dubai, which was attended by close family members. A month after the ceremony, the actress shared photographs from the wedding along with a photoshoot featuring her husband, Muhammad Rashid, in traditional Arab attire.

The couple’s choice of attire led to widespread speculation about Rashid’s nationality, with some fans suggesting he might be Arab. However, other reports claimed he hails from Mandi Bahauddin, Punjab, Pakistan.

Social media influencer Yasir Shami added to the confusion by stating that Neelam’s husband is Arab.

Now, Nida Yasir has offered her own perspective, which has gone viral on social media. On her morning show, Nida extended her congratulations to Neelam and shared her thoughts on Rashid’s background.

“I would like to congratulate our beautiful and talented actress Neelam Muneer on her wedding. She is close to my heart because she has worked a lot with me and my husband,” said Nida.

Addressing the nationality rumours, she added: “Many are curious about her husband’s nationality and assume he is Arab. However, I believe he is from Punjab, Pakistan, and resides in Dubai. We wish them a happy married life.”

Neelam has yet to provide further details about her husband, keeping much of her personal life private despite public interest.
