Mirza's wedding was solemnized by a female priest
Mirza got married to Mumbai-based businessman Rekhi in a beautiful and intimate ceremony on February 15 this year. The ceremony was attended by the couple's family and a few close friends, including celebrities Jackky Bhagnani and Aditi Rao Hydari. Her decision to have a female priest solemnize the wedding impressed several netizens. According to Mirza, this was the highest point of their wedding.
The 'kanyadaan' and 'bidaai' ceremonies were skipped at the wedding
Besides a female priest officiating their wedding, Mirza also did away with 'kanyadaan' and 'bidaai' ceremonies, which are a norm at Indian weddings. Both rituals are seen as regressive and sexist in modern society. "We said NO to 'Kanyadaan' and 'Bidaai' change begins with choice doesn't it, (sic)" she had written on social media along with hashtags #GenerationEquality #SunsetkeDiVaNe #ThankYouPreeta.
Her Telugu movie 'Wild Dog' hit the theaters today
Mirza was last seen on the big screen in Anubhav Sinha's 2020 film Thappad. The actress also had a successful debut in the world of web series with ZEE5's Kaafir in 2019. Her upcoming movie, the Telugu action-thriller Wild Dog, hit the screens today. It features Nagarjuna in the lead role and is directed by Ahishor Solomon.
