Heeramandi star Sonakshi Sinha says she always knew she wanted to wear her mother's saree and jewellery for her wedding with longtime partner Zaheer Iqbal, stressing that "a simpler but beautiful bride" will be a future fashion trend. Sonakshi opened up about her wedding trousseau after she walked the ramp for designer Dolly J's latest collection La Vie En Rose at the Hyundai FDCI India Couture Week 2024 on Saturday evening in New Delhi.
Sonakshi and Zaheer got married on June 23 at her home in a low-key civil marriage ceremony in the presence of family and close friends. "It took us five minutes to choose our outfits," she told reporters. For the signing ceremony, the bride and groom twinned in ivory: Sonakshi wore her mother Poonam Sinha's saree and jewellery and completed her look with a sleek bun, whereas Zaheer was dressed in an embroidered kurta-pyjama. She opted for a red Banarasi saree and Zaheer donned a white open jacket with a shirt and paired it with matching pants for the reception.
"I was very clear in my head that for my actual signing and the wedding I wanted to wear my mother's saree and her jewelry, which is exactly what I did. I was clear that I wanted to wear a red sari. It was all in my head and we just brought it to life on that day," Sonakshi said. "I genuinely feel the simpler bride is going to be back. I had the freedom to enjoy my wedding so much because I was so comfortable and I was able to breathe, to move around. I really didn't stress myself out. A simpler but very beautiful bride... That's going to be a forthcoming trend," she added.
For the wedding, Zaheer, who co-starred with Sonakshi in the 2022 film Double XL, wore an ensemble created by his designer friend. "We went to his friend, who is a designer, and he saw one outfit and he was like 'Oh, I will wear this.' We are not that fussy," the actress concluded. (With inputs from wires)
