Sonakshi Sinha tied the knot with Zaheer Iqbal on June 23 and it was a registered wedding. They tied the knot under the 'Special Marriage Act of 1954' which means that they have to give a 30-day notice period to the Marriage Registrar during which objections can be raised. It also requires both the parties to be of legal age of 21 (for men) and 18(for women). The act is designed to govern marriages without regard to religious or cultural differences.

The couple tied the knot in a civil manner - neither with Hindu or Muslim rituals. However, keeping in mind the sentiments, Shatrughan and Poonam Sinha were seen giving Sonakshi's hand in Zaheer's hand - as a symbolism to the 'kanyadaan' ritual. The picture has gone viral now and it's too emotional.
