The Cake in the Glittering Reception
The couple’s joy reached its peak when they cut their enormous wedding cake. The towering four-tiered cake was a spectacular sight. Each tier was a pure white canvas, adorned with dangling sugar flowers in delicate shades of pink, peach and ivory.

A red sari, the timeless symbol of the Indian bride, served as the foundation of her outfit. This traditional choice gave her look a cultural significance. However, Sonakshi’s decision to forgo the intricate mehndi patterns that usually adorn the hands of a bride gave her a touch of modernity. Instead, she opted for the red bridal colour “alta” on her fingers and palms, giving traditional elements a simpler, more modern twist.
This approach to bridal fashion was well received by many fans, and Sonakshi’s choice showed that a commitment to tradition doesn’t have to come at the expense of personal style. She has managed to redefine the bridal look, proving that a bride can be traditionally beautiful and still be her authentic self.
A Moment of Sweet Indulgence
Sonakshi and Zaheer added a touch of playful romance by swaying to music as they cut the cake together. The moment was pure bliss and a sweet embodiment of their new found connection. The song choice for this special moment couldn’t have been more perfect.
This upbeat and romantic song brought back memories for many and created a truly magical atmosphere. After the cake cutting, traditions took center stage. Sonakshi and Zaheer shared a bite of cake with each other, a symbolic gesture reaffirming their commitment and journey as a married couple.
The sweetness of the cake perfectly reflected the sweetness of their vows, heralding a new chapter full of love and happiness.
