Before their marriage, there have been murmurs of trouble in their families because of their cultures, with some reports also stating that actor and Parliamentarian Shatrughan Sinha might not even attend daughter Sonakshi's wedding.

Detach from trolling

On Sunday, the actors shared pictures from their wedding, acknowledging blessings from ‘both our families and both our Gods’ – a cryptic response to the trolling she has been facing since the speculation about their wedding started.

Just hours after sharing the photos from their civil wedding ceremony, several people noted that Sonakshi and Zaheer turned off the comments option on the post announcing their marriage. It could be seen as an attempt to avoid any hate and trolling during over their happy news. However, people have been dropping negative comments on other posts.

We are hitched!

Sonakshi and Zaheer's caption read, “On this very day, seven years back (23.06.2017) in each others 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. Here’s to love, hope and all things beautiful with each other, from now until forever (read heart emoji). Sonakshi (infinity emoji) Zaheer... 23.06.2024.”

The post was liked by celebs such as Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Katrina Kaif, Swara Bhasker, Zoya Akhtar, Ileana D'Cruz, Shilpa Shetty and Kiara Advani, among many others.
