ISLAMABAD – Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari categorically denied reports circulating on social media that his engagement had been finalised, saying neither he got engaged nor had any decision been taken regarding his marriage.
In a video statement on X, amid growing speculation on social media, the PPP chairman said reports about his engagement and marriage had been circulating without any basis and clarified that no such development had taken place. “I want to make it clear that neither has the match been finalised nor have I got engaged,” Bilawal said, putting to rest speculation that had gained traction on social media in recent days.
He also dismissed reports linking him to a prospective bride identified on social media as “Princess Gloria,” saying he had no knowledge of the person being discussed in connection with the rumours. “First of all, social media has already finalised my marriage talks, engagement and wedding,” Bilawal said, adding he wanted to make it clear that none of these developments had taken place.
The PPP chairman said speculation surrounding his personal life was being amplified on social media at a time when the country was confronted with more serious political, economic and public-interest issues. “In reality, these social media spectacles are hyped up to divert the public’s attention from actual issues,” he said. Bilawal said that any decision concerning his engagement or marriage would be communicated officially by his family rather than through social media speculation or unverified reports.
“If any such personal decision regarding my life is made, the announcement will come directly from my family,” he said, urging people to disregard the speculation until any formal announcement was made. “Until then, please focus on the real issues and ignore these social media spectacles,” he added. The clarification came amid reports that President Asif Ali Zardari and Bilawal were in Vienna and were possibly holding discussions with the family of a prospective bride. The reports fuelled speculation on social media about a possible engagement, prompting the PPP chairman to directly address the matter.
