New Pak PM Shehbaz Sharif married 5 times? Details of his ... (NewsroomPost)

Shahbaz Sharif is a hard-core realist and over the years has enjoyed a good reputation as a politician as he ruled as the Chief Minister of Punjab Province.

Fifth marriage to Kalsoom Hayi: At the age of 60, Shahbaz married for the fifth time a girl named Kalsoom Hayi. His fifth marriage was also a secret affair. Fourth marriage to Tehmeena Durrani: Following two consecutive failed marriages, Shahbaz Sharif waited for a few years and got secretly married to socialite and novelist Tehmeena Durrani in 2003. Lahore’s ‘Honey Bridge’ is named after Aaliya Honey. It was built when Shahbaz was serving as Punjab’s CM. As per reports, the cavalry bridge was constructed so that he could easily travel to the residence of his wife, while many say that it was built so that his second wife does not get back home late from the office. Notably, Shahbaz is the younger brother of three times Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. The current prime minister, unlike his brother, enjoys a good relationship with the powerful army. According to reports, Shahbaz did not get approval from his father when he married Nusrat in 1973 when he was 23. The current PM is always well known among people for his delightful mood.
