Sonakshi & Zaheer's Private Marriage: First Pics Released

"We are now man and wife," longtime actor couple Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal said on Sunday after their low-key ceremony in the presence of family and close friends.

On Sunday, Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha wed her longtime partner Zaheer Iqbal in a secret ceremony held at her Bandra apartment in Mumbai. The newlyweds threw a lavish reception at Bastian, Dadar, following their civil marriage. Because she married Zaheer outside of religion, the actress has been subjected to a lot of trolling. To prevent inappropriate hate during their special occasion, the newlyweds have even disabled comments on their wedding photos on Instagram.

Sonakshi was spotted walking in with her husband Zaheer Iqbal while wearing a red saree and a sindoor. The couple threw an indoor party for friends and family on June 20 and a mehndi ceremony on June 21 before the festivities on Sunday.

Sonakshi's parents, Shatrughan and Poonam Sinha, were also present at the celebration. The fact that Shatrughan attended the celebration eliminated all speculations that he was unhappy in his marriage and unlikely to skip the ceremony. Shatrughan's statement was "waiting to be informed" about his daughter's wedding gave rise to rumours. He continued, "All I can say is, aaj kal Ke bachche consent nahin lete maa-baap ke, sirf inform karte hain" (Currently, children don't ask permission; they just tell their parents)."

At the beginning of their relationship, Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal avoided sharing pictures of one another and even getting photographed together. With the drama Notebook, backed by Salman Khan, Zaheer made his film debut. Zaheer and Sonakshi reportedly met at a party thrown by Salman, who also helped launch Sonakshi's career with his hit movie Dabangg.

The pair later collaborated on the comedy-drama Double XL, which starred Huma Qureshi, a friend of Sonakshi's, in 2022. Sonakshi and Zaheer were already together when they shot the movie. However, their first public appearance together did not occur until 2023, at Aayush Sharma and Arpita Khan's Eid celebration.
