Celebrities Steal the Spotlight at Red Carpet Events Across Pakistan and the World
In a flurry of glitz and glamour, Pakistani and international celebrities took center stage at various red carpet events. Among them was actress Margot Robbie, who made a stunning impression at the premiere of her new film. However, it wasn’t her outfit that caught everyone’s attention, but rather the historic necklace she wore around her neck. The exquisite piece, adorned with diamonds and other precious gemstones, had once belonged to Mughal Queen Nur Jahan, who received it as a gift from her husband, Mughal Emperor Jahangir. The necklace was later passed down to Shah Jahan, who presented it to Muntaz Mahal.
The necklace features an inscription in Persian that reads, “Love remains forever.” After centuries, the necklace found its way into the hands of a jewelry company, and later, it was gifted to actress Elizabeth Taylor by Richard Burton. In 2011, it was sold for $880,000, but it has now returned to the spotlight after years, gracing the red carpet.
