Kanwal Kashif, wife of comedian Kashif Khan, is frequently seen with her daughter and often mirrors her fashion choices. At Rabica’s Nikah, Kanwal wore a white heavily embellished bridal outfit, which instantly caught the attention of fashion enthusiasts online.

The original dress, designed by Faiza Saqlain, was part of her bridal collection “Mahan”. It featured intricate gold thread embroidery, delicate embellishments, and luxurious fabric, making it one of the standout looks of the year.
Mahira Khan had earned widespread praise for her elegance in the outfit. Now, as Kanwal Kashif wore what appeared to be the same or inspired version of that dress, comparisons were inevitable.
