In a heartfelt announcement shared via Instagram on Wednesday night, singer Asim Azhar and actress Merub Ali confirmed that they have ended their engagement. The couple, who got engaged in March 2022, emphasized that the decision was mutual and respectful, requesting privacy as they transition into a new chapter of their lives.
“After a great deal of thought and reflection, we have decided to part ways,” Asim Azhar stated in his Instagram story. “Merub and I have chosen to move forward on separate paths peacefully and mutually. While we shared meaningful moments and genuinely hoped for a future together, life sometimes takes its own course.”
The couple, known for keeping their relationship relatively low-profile, shared identical images from their engagement ceremony two years ago — a moment that had captured the hearts of fans across the nation. The event, celebrated in an intimate gathering with close family, marked a milestone in their personal lives and had garnered massive attention on social media.
While Asim and Merub were frequently seen together at industry events and often supported each other’s professional projects, they remained private about their relationship status following the engagement.
Social Media Reacts to the News
Fans and fellow celebrities have flooded social media with messages of support, sending love and well wishes to both Asim and Merub. Many expressed sadness over the announcement, while others praised the couple for handling the situation with maturity and grace.
Relationship History and Public Speculation
Before his relationship with Merub Ali, Asim Azhar was publicly linked to actress Hania Aamir. The former couple’s breakup had been the subject of significant online discussion, though both parties eventually moved on. Hania has since clarified in interviews that she is not currently in a relationship. Rumors had recently linked her to Indian rapper Badshah, but both artists have confirmed they are just friends.
A Respectful Farewell
“We have the utmost respect for each other and the families involved, and always will,” the joint statement read. “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.”
Asim Azhar, widely recognized for his hit "Jo Tu Na Mila," continues to focus on his music career, while Merub Ali is set to appear in several upcoming acting projects. Despite the personal setback, both remain active in their respective fields and enjoy strong fan support.
