Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha and actor Zaheer Iqbal have finally tied the knot, and the celebrations were nothing short of magical. The couple, who have maintained a low profile throughout their courtship, got married on June 23, 2024, in an intimate ceremony replete with family love and joyous moments. In a significant move, their marriage was registered under the Special Marriages Act, and the nuptials took place at Sonakshi’s lavish sea-facing home in Mumbai.
Today, the newlyweds graced their fans and well-wishers with a heartwarming video from their wedding ceremony. The video beautifully captures the essence of their special day, showcasing the love, laughter, and tender moments shared among the close-knit attendees. Opting for an intimate setting, Sonakshi and Zaheer decided to keep their wedding ceremony small, inviting only family members and a few close friends to witness their union.
In the wedding video released, Sonakshi Sinha is seen wearing a vintage white saree, adding a touch of tradition and sentimental value to the occasion. The saree, initially worn by her mother, Poonam Sinha, at her own wedding, lent a timeless charm to the bride, who looked radiant and blissfully happy. The couple can be seen exchanging names and formalizing their wedding in front of a register, marking the beautiful beginning of their married life.
The video opens on a delightful note with the couple’s friends joyfully singing the catchy tune ‘Sona Kitna Sona Re’ but with a twist—they amusingly alter the lyrics to ‘Jiju No. 1,’ a playful nod to Zaheer Iqbal now assuming the role of Sonakshi’s husband. The light-hearted atmosphere is palpable as friends and family excitedly cheer the couple on from the balcony, where Sonakshi and Zaheer stood completing the legalities of their union.
In the backdrop, Sonakshi’s father, the veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha, and her mother, Poonam Sinha, are seen beaming with pride and happiness. The video captures a unique moment of cinematic history when another guest at the wedding, actor Sidharth, jovially imitates Shatrughan Sinha’s famous dialogue ‘Khamosh’. The light-heartedness continues with Shatrughan Sinha responding with a warm smile, encapsulating the joyous ambiance of the occasion.

She expresses her feelings succinctly yet touchingly, saying, “I can’t help it.” The love and happiness are palpable, leaving fans and well-wishers feeling a sense of genuine happiness for the newlyweds.
Adding to the delightful visual treat, Shatrughan Sinha shared more inside pictures from the wedding on his social media accounts. Taking to X, the actor-politician expressed his gratitude towards everyone who extended their well-wishes and love towards the couple. Sharing unseen pictures and videos, Shatrughan Sinha’s posts present Sonakshi and Zaheer posing with their loved ones, enveloped in the warmth and love of their families.

It seems to be the ‘wedding of the century’ with your warmth and congratulatory messages for our darling daughter #SonakshiSinha and #ZaheerIqbal as they start a new chapter in their beautiful journey together.”
The celebratory messages from fans and friends poured in, reflecting the overwhelming joy that this union has brought to everyone who has followed Sonakshi and Zaheer’s journey. An additional post from Shatrughan, who recently won the Lok Sabha elections from Bengal’s Asansol on a Trinamool Congress ticket, expressed further gratitude: “Truly overwhelmed with the best wishes, it really means a lot. No words to express our happiness & appreciation. #SinhaParivar.”
