Sonakshi Sinha
and Zaheer Iqbal are all set to become man and wife. They are expected to have a registered
wedding
at their home sometime today, followed by a reception at Bastian, Mumbai tomorrow. The two have remained tight-lipped about their wedding till now, and the ceremony is expected to be a quiet affair.
While Sonakshi has been active in Bollywood since many years, her beau Zaheer has done only a handful of movies.
Not many know that his debut movie was Notebook (2019), directed by Nitin Kakkar. The movie was distributed by Salman Khan, who is a close friend of Zaheer’s father, and starred Pranutan Bahl, daughter of Mohnish Bahl, along side the actor. The movie, though not commercially successful, garnered a lot of praise and both Zaheer and Prantunan were hailed as fine performers. The movie followes the story of Kabir, an ex-soldier, who becomes a teacher in a small school in Kashmir, and finds a diary left by Firdaus, a former employee of the school. He follows the writings in the book and soon finds himself falling for the writer.
Coming back to Sonakshi-Zaheer’s wedding, the couple are preparing to tie the knot on June 23 in Mumbai. The
pre-wedding festivities
are in full swing, with both families deeply involved in the celebrations. Shatrughan Sinha’s iconic home, a multi-storey building named
Ramayan
in Juhu, has been adorned with decorative lights, capturing everyone’s attention.
A glimpse of Sonakshi and Zaheer from their mehendi ceremony has been circulating on social media. The bride-to-be looked radiant in a red-brown traditional outfit, while Zaheer appeared dapper in a kurta and pant suit. Zaheer’s friend
Jafer Ali Munshi
shared the picture on Instagram, expressing his excitement with the caption, “Soooooooooo excited & Sona is now ‘officially in the Bandstand Bldg A clan!'”
On Thursday night, Shatrughan Sinha, his wife Poonam Sinha, and their daughter Sonakshi were seen at Zaheer’s residence in Mumbai. They were mobbed by paparazzi as soon as they stepped out. Both Zaheer and Shatrughan Sinha smiled and posed for the cameras, while Sonakshi, dressed in a white outfit, chose not to pose for photographs.
A couple of days earlier, the couple enjoyed their bachelor and bachelorette parties with close friends. Sonakshi shared glimpses from a party hosted by her friends, and Zaheer also enjoyed a night out with his close buddies.
