June 23rd 2024.
Mumbai was buzzing with excitement as Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal tied the knot in a civil marriage ceremony. The couple completed all the legal formalities and were now officially husband and wife. The ceremony took place at Sonakshi's beautiful sea-facing apartment in Bandra West, which spanned 26 floors. Family and friends from both sides were present, including Sonakshi's parents, the renowned Hindi film actor and newly-elected Lok Sabha MP, Shatrughan Sinha, and his wife, Poonam. Sonakshi's close friend and co-star from "Double XL", Huma Qureshi, also graced the occasion.
The newlyweds wasted no time in sharing their joy with the world as they posted their first pictures as husband and wife on social media. Sonakshi looked stunning in an ivory and golden saree with minimal makeup. She accessorized with a kundan choker necklace, matching earrings, and bangles. Her hair was styled in a neat bun adorned with a gajra, and she had beautiful mehendi on her hands. Zaheer looked dashing in a white sherwani. In one of the pictures, he can be seen kissing Sonakshi's hand, while she is beaming with happiness. Another photo captured the precious moment of Sonakshi signing the wedding papers as her father, Shatrughan Sinha, lovingly holds her hand.
The caption of the post read, "Seven years ago, we looked into each other's eyes and saw love in its purest form. Today, that love has guided us through all the challenges and triumphs, leading up to this moment. With the blessings of our families and our gods, we are now man and wife. Here's to a lifetime of love, hope, and all things beautiful together." The couple also sent out sweets to the paparazzi stationed outside as a thank you for their love, kindness, and support on their special day.
As the legal formalities for the civil marriage were completed, all eyes turned towards the reception venue, the popular restaurant Bastian on Linking Road in Mumbai. Among the early arrivals were Aditi Rao Hydari, Sonakshi's co-star from "Heeramandi", and her fiancé Siddharth. Aayush Sharma, Zaheer's co-star from "Ruslaan" and brother-in-law of Salman Khan, was also spotted at the reception. Unfortunately, Manisha Koirala, another co-star from "Heeramandi", could not attend the wedding due to prior commitments but sent flowers to convey her best wishes.
The theme for the party was black and red, and the team of decorators at Bastian left no stone unturned in creating a stunning ambiance with an array of red flowers and a red carpet rolled out for the guests. The party was set to be a night to remember with DJ Ganesh, known for his eclectic music, performing live. The rooftop restaurant was founded in 2014 by Ranjit Bindra, Shilpa Shetty, and Kunal Jani, and is run by celebrity chef Suvir Saran, known for his now-closed Michelin-starred restaurant, Devi, in New York.
Sonakshi and Zaheer have been together for seven years, and she fondly refers to him as her "personal psycho". It was none other than Salman Khan, who introduced them on the sets of "Notebook" in 2017. Both Sonakshi and Zaheer made their debut in Salman Khan-produced films, with Zaheer starring opposite another newcomer, Pranutan Bahl, in "Notebook". The couple's love story was truly a fairytale, and Salman played the role of Cupid in bringing them together.
As the newlyweds embark on this new journey together, we wish them a lifetime of happiness, love, and togetherness.
