Khan's unexpected exit from the reception
In a surprising turn of events, Khan left the reception without posing for the paparazzi on the red carpet. This was unexpected as Khan is typically friendly with photographers. Notably, Khan is a common thread between the newlyweds, as it was at his party years ago that the couple reportedly first met. Moreover, Iqbal debuted in Bollywood through Khan's production venture Notebook.
Details of Sinha and Iqbal's intimate wedding ceremony
Sinha and Iqbal were married under the Special Marriage Act at Sinha's house in Mumbai. The couple had earlier shared photos from their intimate wedding ceremony on Instagram but disabled comments due to trolling related to their inter-faith marriage. Iqbal's father had previously clarified that Sinha would not be converting to Islam. Moreover, despite initial reports of disapproval, Sinha's father Shatrughan Sinha attended the ceremony with his wife Poonam Sinha, putting to rest any speculation about family discord.
