Mumbai. Newlywed acting couple Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal on Tuesday shared pictures from their wedding reception and said the wedding received love and support from everyone, including their friends, family and their team. The two got married in a simple ceremony at Sonakshi’s home on Sunday, followed by a star-studded reception. Sonakshi, 37, and Zaheer, 35, posted pictures from their wedding in a joint Instagram post.
Like their wedding announcement, the comments feature on the latest post has been ‘disabled’ after the couple reportedly faced hate for their inter-religious marriage. Captioning the series of photos, they wrote, “What a day!!! Love, laughter, togetherness, excitement, warmth, support from each and every one of our friends, family and team…” The couple further added, “It was like the universe brought two loving people together and gave them what they had always hoped, wished and prayed for. If this isn’t divine intervention… then we don’t know what is. We are both truly blessed to have found each other, and the immense love is protecting us.”
There were reports that her father Shatrughan Sinha, an actor-turned-MP, was unhappy as the ‘Heeramandi’ star did not inform him about the wedding. The rumours were put to rest when Shatrughan Sinha happily posed for pictures with Zaheer and his family a few days before the wedding. There were reports that Sonakshi’s brothers Luv and Kush also did not attend the wedding, but both the brothers dismissed such reports.
Sonakshi and Zaheer first collaborated for the music video of the song ‘Blockbuster’, which released in September 2022. Months later, they starred together in the comedy drama ‘Double XL’. The two stars, who have been dating for seven years, did not publicly confirm their relationship but were often photographed attending events together and also shared pictures with each other on social media.
