Ayesha Omar’s adventures in Istanbul have now embarked on a peaceful route. In a carousel shared on Instagram, the Bulbulay actor and her travelling companions trekked deep into a forest, hoping for a spiritual reward.
“We’re going in search of Zen after four days of wedding crazies,” she wrote. “We’ve got to take it as it comes and ride with it. Just give us a forest and some screaming kids.”
The carousel is just one of the many photo slash video dumps Ayesha posted on Instagram since she flew to Turkey to attend the wedding festivities of her friend and showbiz peer, Anoushey Ashraf. The glamorous affair spread over the latter half of April, and Ayesha was delighted to document every memorable moment of it.
In an earlier post, the Karachi Se Lahore actor stunned in a Nomi Ansari bubblegum pink lehenga. The ensemble, splattered and laced with golden sequins, was her pick for Anoushey Ashraf’s shendi — an event combining rituals from shaadi (wedding) and mehndi (henna) celebrations — held in Istanbul, Turkey.
The lehenga was matched with a strappy, crop blouse, a glittering, sheer dupatta, and a drawstring handbag. In the caption, Ayesha shared the secret behind every comfortable fashion pose, “Candy crushing and obsessing. While sneaking. (Only sneakers with the lehenga for now.)”
The candy-crush ensemble was the sole survivor of a luggage mishap, as the Habs actor said in a previous post, “Emirates misplaced my luggage in transit and the only thing I have is this candy crush. Allah is the best planner.”
In the video, Ayesha happily twirled in the only piece of travelling clothing that stuck by her, tagging the designer to express her admiration. She also tagged Frieha Altaf, who recorded the clip in high spirits. Ayesha credited her for “capturing this and always cheering us on.”
