After seven years of dating, Sonakshi and Zaheer have scheduled their wedding for this Sunday, followed by a celebration at Shilpa Shetty’s restaurant, Bastian, in Mumbai. Various personalities, including Huma Qureshi and Aayush Sharma, are expected to attend the event.

Regarding her career, Sonakshi recently starred in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s debut series ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar’, alongside Manisha Koirala, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Aditi Rao Hydari, and Sharmin Segal Mehta. Aditya Sarpotdar is directing the horror comedy ‘Kakuda’, in which Sonakshi is playing the lead role. The film is based in a cursed village in Uttar Pradesh where houses have two doors—a regular-sized one and a smaller one. The film revolves around a unique ritual involving the smaller doors of every house on Tuesday evenings, with dire consequences for those who neglect this tradition, including facing the wrath of Kakuda.
