First Photos from Sonakshi and Zaheer\’s Wedding
After the ceremony, Sonakshi and Zaheer took to Instagram to share their first photos from the intimate wedding. To avoid negativity, they turned off the comment section on their posts. Despite the trolling and negative comments regarding their inter-faith marriage, their happiness was evident in the beautiful photos they shared.
Celebrity Congratulatory Messages
Parineeti Chopra was among the first to congratulate the newlyweds. In a heartfelt Instagram story, she wrote, “Congratulations you two! Welcome to the club. Wish you both all the happiness!”
Zaheer’s father, Iqbal Ratansi, had previously confirmed that the marriage would not include Hindu or Muslim rituals. In a statement to the Free Press Journal, he said,
“It will have neither Hindu nor Muslim rituals. It will be a civil marriage.” He also dismissed any speculation about Sonakshi converting to Islam, emphasizing, “She is not converting, and that is for sure. Theirs is a union of hearts, and religion has no role to play whatsoever. 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.”
