Famous Pakistani singer Hasan Raheem recently revealed that he hadn\u2019t planned to document the energetic dances he performed to the traditional rhythms of Gilgit-Baltistan during his wedding a celebration that quickly became a cultural phenomenon, not just for his fans but for all of Pakistan and beyond. Last month, Hasan\u2019s wedding took social media by storm after he shared photos and dance-filled videos on Instagram, turning his nuptials into a viral spectacle and giving viewers a vibrant glimpse of Gilgit\u2019s rich culture. In an interview with Haroon Rashid on the BBC Asian Network, Hasan opened up about the now-famous wedding, where his signature Gilgit-Baltistan dance moves stole the spotlight and lit up social media feeds. What truly captivated audiences was Hasan\u2019s ability to seamlessly blend modern flair with traditional pride, putting Gilgit-Baltistan in the spotlight through his joyful celebrations, heartfelt rituals, and infectious energy. \u201cOur wedding gave a crash course on Gilgit to all of Pakistan and the world,\u201d Hasan said. Recalling the viral moments, he laughed, \u201cI saw a meme that said Hasan Raheem kept a bit of a wedding in his dance. I would just stand up every five minutes, shout, \u2018Stop it, it\u2019s my wedding!\u2019 and then start dancing again.\u201d He added that documenting the wedding was never part of the plan, making the viral response all the more surprising. \u201cMy mum asked if we should take phones away [possibly to restrain people from filming],\u201d he said. \u201cBut our family would’ve gotten upset. Then everything just started coming online. My cousins turned into influencers for six days!\u201d \u201cI love my mum for that,\u201d he said, crediting her for encouraging him to wear his cultural heritage with pride. The wedding videos \u2014 spontaneous, warm, and unapologetically joyful \u2014 quickly went viral. Even Hasan was surprised by how well people received his choreography and the cultural elements. \u201cI was not expecting people to like it,\u201d he admitted. \u201cBut they were like, \u2018That\u2019s some good stuff I haven\u2019t seen before!\u2019 I loved it.\u201d \u201cIf the music career doesn\u2019t happen, we know what to do. We\u2019re dance choreographers at weddings now.\u201d The singer announced his marriage to his cousin in August, months after he sparked widespread speculation with a similar wedding-themed Instagram post in April \u2014 which later turned out to be a promotional campaign for his track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
