What Sonakshi and Zaheer said

During the interview, when the pair were asked to individually recall what was the most magical moment from their wedding, they both agreed that it was the kanyadaan. Zaheer said, “I think it is the best moment of my life, and it was so beautiful. The Kanyadan had been delayed by 15 minutes, and when we finally sat down, I held her hand, and we were praying. Suddenly, Sona said, ‘Can you hear that?’ I asked, ‘What?’ She replied, ‘The Azaan is on,’ and it was such a beautiful moment. The pandit was praying, reciting the mantras, and the Azaan was playing in the background as we were getting married. It felt like divine intervention.”

Sonakshi also nodded in agreement, and said: “It was divine!”
