Sharing the pictures, Sonakshi Sinha wrote a note. It read, "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. Here's to love, hope and all things beautiful with each other, from now until forever." Sonakshi added in the post, "Sonakshi weds Zaheer. 23.06.2024".

Actor and Parliamentarian Shatrughan Sinha’s daughter also shared photos from her interfaith wedding moments later, acknowledging blessings from ‘both our families and both our gods,’ taking a dig at the trolling she has been facing since the speculation about their wedding started. However, both Sonakshi and Zaheer switched off comments on their posts to avoid hate and trolling during the happy occasion.

After the wedding, Sonakshi's father Shatrughan Sinha told media, "Every father waits for this moment when his daughter is given to her chosen groom. My daughter looks most happy with Zaheer. Unki jodi salamat rahe (May their union stay strong forever)." He was accompanied by wife Poonam at the wedding.
Apart from Sonakshi and Zaheer's family members, Sonakshi's BFF Huma Qureshi, her brother Saqib Saleem, Aditi Rao Hydari and her fiance Siddharth, Arpita Khan and Aayush Sharma attended the wedding at Sonakshi's house.
