Before Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s extravagant wedding took over the internet, Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal’s simple yet heartwarming wedding at the former’s home was the talk of the town. In a recent interaction, Sonakshi opened up about her wedding and shared the reason behind keeping it intimate and simple.
Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Sonakshi shared that she and Zaheer always wanted to keep their wedding intimate. She said, “We had each other and this is something that we wanted to do for so long and we were very clear how we wanted it to be. We wanted it to be small and intimate.”
Sonakshi and Zaheer’s reception was organized at Mumbai’s famous restaurant Bastian, where many big names from the film industry, including Salman Khan, Rekha, and Anil Kapoor, danced their hearts out. During the interaction, the Lootera actor revealed that she always wanted her reception to be a fun party. She said, “We also wanted our reception to be one big party where everybody just has fun. I didn’t want to take any stress so my house was an open house. Everybody was coming and going while I was getting my hair and makeup done. Friends are chilling in the wardrobe, decor is going on, the food is being set up. So it was literally like an open house and that’s how I wanted my D-Day to be like. It felt so homely and beautiful. It was perfect.”
Sonakshi Sinha wore her mother’s vintage Chikankari saree for her wedding day and opted for a bright red Varanasi silk brocade sari for the reception. The purpose behind her choice of not wearing an elaborate dress was to ensure she was comfortable and could dance the most at her wedding. “I dressed simply because I wanted to be comfortable and I wanted to dance the most at my wedding, which I did,” she said.
Sonakshi and Zaheer exchanged vows on June 23, following a seven-year romance. It is rumoured that the pair first met at a party hosted by Salman Khan. This initial meeting is said to have sparked a friendship that later developed into a romantic relationship. Their first professional collaboration came in the 2022 Netflix film Double XL, which also starred Huma Qureshi.
