New Delhi: Hold onto your sequins, folks! The wedding everyone’s been yammering about, Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal, finally tied the knot on June 23, 2024. Yes, they’ve gone from “maybe” to “married” with a civil ceremony in the morning and a glitzy shindig at night. Trust me, if you weren’t blinded by all the sparkle, you weren’t there!
Sonakshi dazzled in a ‘chand boota’ brocade Raw Mango sari, flaunting some serious bling and a visible sindoor. As for Zaheer, he went all white and clean-cut, looking like he stepped out of a Bollywood dream. The couple made their grand entrance at Bastian, the rooftop restaurant famous for its Asian-inspired modernist cuisine (and now, for their lovey-dovey photoshoot).
The guest list was a celebrity filled affair, starting with Aditi Rao Hydari and her beau Siddharth, who probably took notes for their own future wedding. Let’s not forget Aayush Sharma, who owes his matchmaking skills to his brother-in-law, the one and only Salman Khan. Cupid’s got nothing on him!
Speaking of the Sultan, Salman Khan made an entrance that could rival any Bollywood climax scene. He wasn’t alone; he brought his entire entourage. And if that wasn’t enough, yesteryear diva Saira Banu, the ever-stylish Huma Qureshi with her brother Saqib Saleem, Anil Kapoor, Chunky Panday, and the always-elegant Kajol (who wore a hand-painted Shivan-Narresh silk sari) also graced the event.
Manisha Koirala, our ‘Heeramandi’ queen, couldn’t make it but sent flowers and her best wishes—like a true Bollywood diva.
DJ Ganesh, known for his eclectic taste in music, made sure everyone danced the night away. I mean, if you didn’t dance, did you even attend?
For those who need a little backstory (because who doesn’t love a good Bollywood plot?), Sonakshi and Zaheer have been dating for seven long years. Rumor has it, Salman played the matchmaker during the shoot of ‘Notebook’ back in 2017. So, if you’re looking for love, maybe you should hang around Salman’s sets more often!
Nisha’s Nutshell
If Bollywood has taught us anything, it’s that love stories are best scripted by Salman Khan and accessorized with a lot of bling! Moral of the story? Never underestimate the power of a good matchmaker and a great DJ! 💃🕺
