Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal opted for a simple and intimate wedding after dating for seven years, contrasting sharply with the lavish wedding of Sonakshi's brother, Kussh, who had around 5,000 to 8,000 guests at his 2015 nuptials. In an interview, Sonakshi revealed that she felt pressure to conform to traditional expectations but was resolute about creating a personal and modest celebration. She expressed that her wedding was a once-in-a-lifetime event and emphasized the importance of doing it their way, despite some friends expressing disappointment over fewer functions and outfit changes. The couple had a registered marriage at home followed by a reception attended by close friends and several celebrities. Sonakshi's brother Kussh attended the reception, but her other brother Luv was absent from the celebrations. The couple's decision was met with mixed reactions, but they remained firm in their choice to prioritize intimacy over grandeur.
