Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha recently took to Instagram to share a touching video featuring her husband, Zaheer Iqbal, whom she lovingly called the “greenest flag ever”. The actress, who is well-known for her roles in films such as ‘Dabangg’ and ‘Rowdy Rathore’, continues to delight her fans by giving them a glimpse into her personal life, especially following her marriage to Zaheer.
The couple tied the knot in an intimate civil ceremony on June 23, held at Sonakshi’s new apartment, 81 Aureate, located near the Rang Sharda Auditorium in Bandra West, Mumbai. This event was highly anticipated by their fans, who had been following their love story with great interest. Sonakshi captured a charming video during a casual barefoot walk, where Zaheer is seen holding her sandals, highlighting his loving and caring nature.
Sonakshi and Zaheer’s journey together began seven years ago. The couple’s relationship was discreet for a while but blossomed over the years. Interestingly, it was acclaimed actor Salman Khan, a close friend of Zaheer’s family, who played matchmaker. Salman introduced Sonakshi to Zaheer on the sets of the film ‘Notebook’ in 2017, further solidifying a bond that has now culminated in marriage.
The newlyweds have been sharing glimpses of their joyous union through various social media posts. One particularly enchanting video was from their wedding day. It featured Zaheer signing the marriage documents amidst a chorus of friends and family singing ‘Sona Kitna Sona Hai’, a popular song from the film ‘Hero No. 1’. The video beautifully captured the overwhelming emotions of the day, with family members expressing their joy and shedding tears of happiness. Zaheer’s sister, Sanam Ratansi, was visibly emotional, as were other close family members, underscoring the deep support and affection surrounding the couple.
Notably present at the wedding was actor Siddharth, who cheered loudly for the newlyweds. There was also a touching moment when Sonakshi exclaims, “Shaadi ho gaye,” to which her friends respond with, “Jija ji aa gaye,” celebrating Zaheer’s affectionate entry into their lives. The video concludes with a heartfelt hug and kiss between Sonakshi and Zaheer, capturing the essence of their love.
Sonakshi accompanied the video with a heartfelt note, expressing her gratitude and joy: “Family, friends, love, friendship, laughter, silly comments, kids running around, happy tears, excitement, bloopers, screeches, fun, joy, anticipation, nerves, emotions, and above all just pure happiness this was our chaotic little Shaadi ka ghar.
… and it was PERFECT… it was US.”
As Sonakshi continues to revel in her newlywed bliss, she also remains active in her professional endeavors. She is slated to appear in the upcoming horror comedy ‘Kakuda’, directed by Aditya Sarpotdar. The film is set in the village of Ratodi in Uttar Pradesh’s Mathura district and promises to deliver a unique plot brimming with suspense and humor.
The official synopsis of ‘Kakuda’ describes Ratodi as a seemingly ordinary village plagued by a longstanding curse. Each house in the village must follow a peculiar ritual involving two doors of different sizes. Failure to open the smaller door every Tuesday at exactly 7:15 pm incurs the wrath of Kakuda, who punishes the men of the household. The storyline raises intriguing questions about this enigmatic character Kakuda and the mysterious curse that haunts the village. The movie also features noteworthy performances from actors Riteish Deshmukh and Saqib Saleem and is scheduled for release on ZEE5 on July 12.
Despite the excitement in her professional life, it’s clear that Sonakshi’s heart is devoted to her husband and the new chapter they’ve embarked upon together. Her Instagram post not only demonstrates her love and admiration for Zaheer but also provides a window into the affectionate and joyous nature of their relationship, one that fans are eager to follow.
With such a promising start to her married life and a thriving career ahead, Sonakshi Sinha remains a beloved and inspirational figure in the entertainment industry. Fans and well-wishers eagerly await more updates and glimpses into her life, both personal and professional.
