Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha tied the knot with her boyfriend Zaheer Iqbal in a grand ceremony on Sunday evening. The couple first completed their registry marriage and then hosted a lavish party for family and friends. The ceremony saw Sonakshi, daughter of veteran actor and politician Shatrughan Sinha, donning elegant attire that drew widespread admiration.

The marriage, notable for being an interfaith union, sparked various discussions and criticisms among the public. Despite the negative remarks, Sonakshi and her father, Shatrughan Sinha, faced the situation with grace.

According to the Anandabazar newspaper, Sonakshi married legally in a white dress. For the grand reception, she opted for a traditional red saree, adorned with wide vermilion in her parting, a bindi on her forehead, a tight bun, and matching jewelry. Zaheer Iqbal complemented her look in a white sherwani suit.

The event was a star-studded affair, with everyone eagerly awaiting the arrival of Salman Khan, Sonakshi’s co-star from the movie "Dabangg" and a significant figure in her life. True to expectations, Salman made a late-night appearance, adding to the celebration's glamour.

Sonakshi surprised many by choosing her mother’s vintage saree for her wedding dress instead of a traditional lehenga. Her adherence to tradition was further evident as she opted for Alta on her hands, an old custom, rather than the contemporary Mehndi.

The reception took place at Shilpa Shetty's luxury hotel, Bastian. The newlyweds, Sonakshi and Zaheer, were in high spirits, celebrating with their friends and family. They posed for pictures and enjoyed the festivities, making for a joyous evening.

Sonakshi shared her wedding pictures on her official social media page on Sunday night. The images depicted a happy beginning to her new journey with Zaheer Iqbal, alongside her father Shatrughan Sinha.

This wedding marks a significant milestone for Sonakshi Sinha, symbolizing not just a union of two individuals but also a blend of traditions and modern values in Bollywood.
