Sonakshi Sinha Wedding: Groom-to-be Zaheer Iqbal Visits Masjid To Seek Blessings | Watch

Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha and actor Zaheer Iqbal are tying the knot today, June 23, 2024. The couple, who have been together for seven years, will be celebrating with a host of Bollywood celebs today. Ahead of the wedding, Zaheer was seen at a mosque near his and Sonakshi’s new residence in Bandra West, signifying an important moment before their civil marriage. The soon-to-married actor likely visited the mosque to offer prayers and seek blessings, as per Zoom.

Following their civil ceremony, they plan to celebrate with close friends and family at Mumbai’s popular Bastian restaurant. The couple shared a digital wedding invitation featuring a QR code that leads to an audio message inviting guests to their special day. They jokingly requested guests to avoid wearing red​.

To ensure the event proceeds smoothly, the Mumbai Police have increased security around the venue. After the civil marriage, a grand reception is anticipated, with many Bollywood celebrities expected to attend​.

In a recent interview, Zaheer’s father shed light on their marriage when he told Free Press Journal, “It will have neither Hindu nor Muslim rituals. It will be a civil marriage.” Zaheer’s father further dismissed reports claiming Sonakshi might convert to Islam after her wedding. “She is not converting and that is for sure. Theirs is a union of hearts and religion has no role to play whatsoever,” he said and then added, “I believe in humanity. God is called Bhagwan by Hindus and Allah by Muslims. But at the end of the day, we are all human beings. My blessings are with Zaheer and Sonakshi.”

News18 Showsha has also exclusively learnt that Sonakshi and Zaheer’s wedding won’t really be an intimate affair as it will see some of the biggest names in Bollywood gracing their big day to shower blessings and love on the couple.
