Appearance on TV and now marriage in trouble: Rajab Butt, Emaan Rajab drama explodes online

Pakistani YouTuber Rajab Butt, who recently surprised fans with an unexpected appearance alongside his wife Emaan Rajab in a popular television drama, is now making headlines for a far more serious reason, publicly admitting that he is unsure whether his marriage will survive.

In a series of emotional and explosive Instagram stories, Rajab Butt broke his silence on the growing controversy surrounding his family, making direct allegations against Sheikh Aun, his brother-in-law [ also known as Aun Muhammad]. Rajab Butt also warned that he possesses recordings, screenshots, and chat evidence to expose the full truth.

“I don’t know if this relationship will work or not,” Rajab wrote, adding that if the marriage survives, it will be “only by the command of Allah.” The statement quickly went viral, sending shockwaves across social media.

ALLEGATIONS, EVIDENCE, AND A PUBLIC FALLOUT

Rajab said he never wanted to drag private family matters into the public eye but claimed that “all limits have now been crossed.” He accused Sheikh Aun of spreading false information, forming groups, talking to fan pages, leaking personal details, and seeking sympathy by maligning his family.

He expressed anger over what he described as months of abuse and hatred directed at his mother, sister, wife, and even his nine-month-old son, Kiwan Sultan. “My wife and my son are not part of anyone’s sympathy game,” he added.

Rajab also addressed criticism over why his son has never appeared in his vlogs, clarifying that this decision was made strictly at Emaan Rajab’s insistence.

“She clearly forbade the use of our son’s name or face on social media,” he said, adding that he endured public backlash only to protect his marriage and child.

LEAKED VOICE NOTE FUELS DEBATE

The controversy intensified further after an alleged voice note of Emaan Rajab with her mother-in-law was leaked, sparking widespread debate online. In the recording, Emaan can be heard crying and pleading for her child to be kept away from public exposure.

“I know how Allah saved him and how I gave birth to him. I don’t want my son to come to any harm,” she says in the voice note.

Social media users overwhelmingly sided with Emaan, praising her stance and questioning who leaked the private recording and why such conversations were being recorded in the first place.

FROM VIRAL WEDDING TO VIRAL CRISIS

Rajab Butt and Emaan Rajab’s December 2024 marriage had gone viral across platforms, with Emaan gaining immense popularity for standing by her husband during legal troubles that forced him to stay abroad for a period. Rajab recently returned to Pakistan and continues to face multiple legal cases.

Amid the controversy, the couple also found themselves unexpectedly in the spotlight after their wedding photograph appeared in a scene of a popular TV drama, sparking chatter that the YouTube stars had made an unannounced television debut.

Fans were quick to point out that the image appeared to be intentionally blurred, yet still recognisable, further proof, many said, of the couple’s massive cultural presence.

WHAT’S NEXT?

As allegations, leaks, and emotional statements continue to surface, the situation remains tense. Rajab has warned this would be the last time he addresses the issue publicly, urging those involved to “fear Allah” and stop dragging his wife and child into the conflict.

What began as a viral love story, spilling from YouTube into television, has now turned into one of the most closely watched personal controversies in Pakistan’s digital space, with fans anxiously waiting to see whether the marriage survives the storm.
