We got to know all about their post-wedding life, how they broke the news to the parents and more. We also got to know the reason behind their small and intimate wedding. To know all about it, read on.
This Is Why Sonakshi Sinha And Zaheer Iqbal Had An Intimate Wedding Ceremony
When we think of a wedding in India, we think of extravagance. Sonakshi and Zaheer’s wedding, however, was the complete opposite. We were curious to know what drove them to have a simpler wedding at home. Zaheer Iqbal shared that his and Sonakshi’s priority was to enjoy their wedding. You will spend all of your time and effort meeting the 2000 guests at the ceremony. Even destination weddings can become hectic when eight events are scheduled over four days and all of the time is spent changing clothes for one ceremony after another, Zaheer added.
They wanted to ensure that their wedding was laid back and that they could enjoy their special day. “I chose to wear my mother’s saree for the ceremony,” Sonakshi added. She would have spent a lot of time getting a photo shoot done, posting pictures, etc., if she had chosen to wear a designer outfit. Sonakshi shared that, aside from being practical, wearing her mother’s saree added a special touch that she will carry with her for the rest of her life.
