Shaniera, an Australian-born social worker and philanthropist, has embraced Pakistani culture and has become a prominent figure in her own right. She has been actively involved in various charitable causes, including supporting victims of natural disasters, promoting health and fitness, and raising environmental awareness.

The couple’s love story has captured the hearts of many, with Shaniera’s journey from a “typical Australian girl” to a beloved figure in Pakistan serving as an inspiration. Their union has also brought together their respective families, with Wasim’s sons from his previous marriage, Tahmoor and Akbar, welcoming Shaniera with open arms.

In 2014, the couple welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Aiyla, who has since become the ‘ribbon on their package.’

As Wasim and Shaniera celebrate their 11th anniversary, their fans and well-wishers have flooded social media with messages of love and congratulations, wishing them many more years of happiness and togetherness.
