Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal got married in a civil ceremony on June 23. Recently, the couple stepped out for a dinner date in Mumbai. They were accompanied by their friends and family members. The actress looked lovely in a pink ensemble. Zaheer, on the other hand, opted for a white shirt teamed with pants. As the newlyweds enter the restaurant, Sonakshi can be seen touching her father-in-law's feet. Sonakshi's mother Poonam Sinha was also present at the venue.
Several photos and videos from the couple's dinner date have been doing the rounds on social media. Anu Ranjan shared a series of pictures on her Instagram stories. In the snapshots, Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal are all smiles as they pose for the photos. Take a look.
Ever since the reports of their wedding began doing the rounds on social media, the couple were brutally trolled over their inter-faith relationship. In response, the couple disabled comments on their Instagram posts to avoid unnecessary hatred and negativity when sharing photos from their wedding day. Now, the Heeramandi star has subtly addressed the trolling by commenting on illustrator Prasad Bhat's post, which featured caricatures of Sonakshi and Zaheer from their wedding reception. The caption on the post read, "Love is the universal religion."
Sonakshi Sinha commented, "Truest words!! This is adorable! Thank you." She also re-shared the post on her Instagram story.

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."
