Sonakshi Sinha married Zaheer Iqbal on June 23. The couple hosted a star-studded reception on the same day in Mumbai. Recently, the actress shared that other than their guests, there were gatecrashers too. In an interview with News 18 Showsha, Sonakshi said, “Having an intimate wedding was always the plan. That has always been the kind of wedding that we both wanted. Zaheer and I were very clear that our wedding has to reflect the both of us as people, the bond we share, and the love we have for each other.”
She added, “We wanted to make sure that everybody present there should have a good time. And that’s exactly what happened. There were wedding crashers too here and there but I was too busy having a good time. I’m glad that they also had a good time (laughs). Every wedding be it big or small has people crashing them. Kuch log aa jaate hai khaana khaane and I think that’s okay even though I’ve never crashed a wedding.”
ICYDK: Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal registered their marriage under the provisions of the Special Marriage Act. The civil ceremony took place at the actress’ new apartment in Mumbai.
