Bollywood’s Newest Power Couple: Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal Tie the Knot in an Intimate Ceremony


In a momentous occasion that has captured the hearts and attention of Bollywood enthusiasts around the globe, beloved actors Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal have officially become husband and wife. The couple took to Instagram to share the joyful news, posting a series of first pictures from their intimate ceremony held at the bride’s residence in Mumbai’s upscale Bandra neighborhood.

Sonakshi Sinha, the acclaimed actress known for her dynamic roles in Bollywood, was the epitome of grace and elegance in a custom-designed white saree adorned with intricate ivory detailing. With her hair neatly secured in a bun, embellished with delicate white flowers, she completed her bridal ensemble with a stunning choker necklace and matching earrings. Her elegance was in full display, embodying the traditional yet modern bride.

Zaheer Iqbal, complementing her in his simplicity, wore a white chikankari kurta set, giving off a sophisticated and understated charm. The duo looked radiant, their happiness palpable as they signed the marriage documents, cementing their union in the presence of their loved ones.

The couple accompanied their Instagram post with a heartfelt caption that read: “On this very day, seven years back (23.06.2017), in each other’s eyes, we saw love in its purest form and decided to hold on to it. Today that love has guided us through all the challenges and triumphs… leading up to this moment… where with the blessings of both our families and both our gods… we are now man and wife. Here’s to love, hope, and all things beautiful with each other, from now until forever. Sonakshi, Zaheer 23.06.2024.”

. Sonakshi often fondly referred to Zaheer as her ‘personal psycho’, emphasizing their deep, affectionate bond. The couple’s journey from friendship to marriage has been eagerly followed by fans and media alike, and their wedding has come as a fruition of this beautiful relationship.

Adding an interesting twist to their fairy tale is the role of Salman Khan. The Bollywood superstar, a longtime friend of Zaheer’s family, played Cupid in their love story. Salman, who gave Sonakshi her big Bollywood break in the action-comedy ‘Dabbang’ (2010), introduced Sonakshi to Zaheer on the sets of his film ‘Notebook’ in 2017. Zaheer’s debut vehicle ‘Notebook’ also featured Pranutan Bahl, the daughter of actor Mohnish Bahl, and the granddaughter of legendary actress Nutan, thus entwining the families even more closely.

Zaheer’s father, Iqbal Ratansi, a well-known figure in the jewellery and real estate business, shares a deep friendship with Salman Khan, further solidifying the bond between the two families. This close-knit connection provided a strong foundation for Sonakshi and Zaheer’s relationship, supported by both their families every step of the way.

In addition to their personal lives, both actors have continued to make strides in their professional careers. Sonakshi, recently lauded for her portrayal of Fareedan, the main antagonist in ‘Heeramandi,’ has a promising slate of projects ahead, including the horror-comedy ‘Kakuda,’ where she stars alongside Riteish Deshmukh and Saqib Saleem. Zaheer, on the other hand, was seen playing a London-based TV line producer, Zorawar Rahmani, in the 2022 film ‘Double XL.’ Although the film received mixed reviews, fans appreciated the on-screen chemistry between the newlyweds.

As the newlyweds embark on this new chapter of their lives, they continue to enjoy the support and well-wishes from their fans and the Bollywood fraternity. The intimate ceremony, filled with love and happiness, marks the beginning of a lifelong journey together for Sonakshi and Zaheer.

The Bollywood industry and fans worldwide await more moments of joy and togetherness from this charming couple. With hearts full of hope and eyes on the future, Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal’s union is a testament to enduring love and the beautiful journey of life together.
