    After weeks of occupying the news cycle with speculations about their nuptials, Sonakshi Sinha and fiancé Zaheer Iqbal tied the knot in an intimate ceremony this weekend.

    They got married in a civil ceremony at Sonakshi’s Mumbai home with their friends and family in attendance.

    The couple shared pictures from the ceremony on Instagram, writing, “On this very day, seven years back (23.06.2017) in each other's eyes, we saw love in its purest form and decided to hold on to it. 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. (sic).”


    In the photos, the newlyweds can be seen looking radiant in matching ivory ensembles.

    Zaheer chose a kurta set while Sonakshi went with a tone-on-tone embroidered sari. The bride’s choice of outfit was especially meaningful as she, not only eschewed trends of going with big designers and vibrant colour palettes but, also wore her mother Poonam Sinha’s wedding sari for her special day.

    She accessorised her look with complementary statement jewellery and a sleek bun with a gajra.

    The actress has never conformed to the beauty and style standards set by the industry and has managed to make a path for herself so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that her choice of a wedding outfit went against the grain as well.

    Sonakshi’s wedding look can be a lesson for brides who are mindful of their choices and want to wear something that holds meaning for their wedding ceremony.

    There are ways you can repurpose old wedding outfits that belong to your mother or grandmother. Or even opt to pass down your wedding lehengas and saris to the next generation in the future!

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.

    The fact that it comes with band, baaja and baraat — what's not to love?And that is the reason our first issue celebrates:
    THE NEW BRIDE.
