The confirmation of his wedding was not the only thing people got wrong, but people also confused who the woman he was marrying was. Suddenly social media was filled with pictures of the woman people were saying Hasan allegedly intends to marry. People thought they have found Shamia and while the first name was the same; that is where the similarities ended.

The woman who’s pictures people were sharing is named Shamia Azmin Ahmadi; an America-based influencer.
Apart from sharing the first name with the woman Hasan wants to marry, she has nothing else in common. She’s a married woman with a child of her own. And people spotted the mistake immediately.

But so far, no one is exactly sure what Shamia Arzoo looks like. But one thing is for sure; it isn’t the woman who’s pictures are going around on social media. What do you think of this colossal mistake? Let us know in the comments below.
