Meera had announced her engagement with Captain Naveed, but did not mention a wedding.
Express News obtained a copy of the marriage certificate -- disclosed by Meera's alleged father-in-law -- which cites her as having wed Captain Naveed on October 31, 2013, in New York.
The marriage certificate identifies the groom as "Naveed Perveez" and the bride as "Irtaza Rubab" (understood to be Meera's real name).
According to the document, Naveed was born in 1978 and Meera on Dec 12 in 1977, which makes her 37 years old.
Rumours of the couple's possible marriage first began circulating in February 2012, when Meera's family reportedly accepted Naveed's proposal.
The groom's family said the plan was to hold off public announcement of the wedding until 2014, when both parties would host a proper wedding ceremony complete with festivities.
The bride, however, denied news of the 'nikkah' released today, and told Express News that she was completely focused on her hospital for now.
Meera has said in the past that people are intent on maligning her unnecessarily to disturb and distract her from her efforts for building a charity hospital, which is intended to provide free cardio services to the impoverished people of Haroonabad.

@SK: Best movie of Meera so far that one. Just loved it ;)
hmmmm coincidence that this news is coming out around the same time as her home movie?
Does ET have no other picture of Meera besides this 'rather over exposed' one?
I'm disappointed ET. This is stupid news.
Seriously? With everything else going on, you guys have ink for THIS?
ET.....is there a reason to print this news !!!!!
As the chauvinistic male dominated society of Pakistan gasps about the married status of a Lollywood star; the female gender is strongly moving forward getting recognition & accolades in most fields as their male counterparts dabble in useless jealousy, petty gossip & mean rants to divert that they are falling behind in most fields!
Express news group have no right to be a peeping tom in someone's private life. An Actor or a media person and even a politician is not a public property but sadly our media and in general our society acts like that it is an obligation to destroy everyone's privacy to get some attention and ratings.
Its her personal matter, ET should be ashamed of publishing it...
All the best Meera.
As they say "they will laugh at you, they will make fun of you and then you will win in pursuit of your personal legend"
I do not understand why Pak media is following such irrelevant people. Media is keeping this lady in focus for god knows what reasons?
