Actor Sonakshi Sinha looked stunning in an ivory saree as she married her boyfriend of seven years, Zaheer Iqbal, on Sunday, June 23. Rather than opting for a designer outfit, Sonakshi embraced sustainability by wearing her mother Poonam Sinha’s wedding saree.
Sources reveal that the intricately embroidered ivory saree belonged to Sonakshi’s mother, Poonam. Complementing her attire, Sonakshi chose matching jewelry from her mother’s collection. The couple shared the first pictures from their wedding on Instagram, explaining the significance of June 23.

“On this very day, seven years back (23.06.2017), in each other’s eyes, we saw love in its purest form and decided to hold on to it. Today, that love has guided us through all the challenges and triumphs… leading up to this moment… where with the blessings of both our families and both our gods… we are now man and wife,” they wrote. “Here’s to love, hope, and all things beautiful with each other, from now until forever.”
Sonakshi Sinha radiated elegance in her mother’s saree, while Zaheer Iqbal complemented her look in a white embroidered kurta-pyjama. For the wedding reception, Sonakshi dazzled in a red Banarasi silk saree.
The reception was a star-studded affair, with celebrities like Kajol, Huma Qureshi, and Saira Banu among the attendees. DJ Ganesh, who performed at the event, noted that nearly 1,000 guests were expected. The celebration marked a beautiful beginning for Sonakshi and Zaheer, surrounded by love and well-wishers.
