Actors Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal are set to wed on June 23 in a civil ceremony, opting out of traditional Hindu or Muslim customs. According to various reports, they will marry under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, having already submitted the required one-month notice to the marriage registrar.

The wedding is expected to take place at the groom’s residence, with the registrar overseeing the legal formalities.

In an interview with the Free Press Journal, Zaheer’s father emphasized, “The marriage will not involve Hindu or Muslim rituals. It will strictly be a civil ceremony.” He also dismissed rumors that Sonakshi would convert to Islam for the marriage.

She is not converting, that’s definite. Their union is based on love and has no religious implications. I believe in humanity. God is known as Bhagwan to Hindus and Allah to Muslims, but ultimately, we are all human beings. My blessings are with Zaheer and Sonakshi,” he added.

Following their civil ceremony, the couple plans to celebrate with a party at Bastian, a popular restaurant in Mumbai favored by celebrities.

Recently, Sonakshi and Zaheer hosted a pre-wedding party for their close friends and family, including Sonakshi’s parents, Shatrughan Sinha and Poonam Sinha. This festive gathering was a prelude to the upcoming celebrations, reflecting the couple’s joy and the support of their loved ones.
