After much speculation around their wedding, actor-couple Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal are set to tie the knot on June 23. And it looks like the festivities have already begun. On Monday night, Sinha shared several pictures on Instagram from what seems to be a bachelorette party. The snaps featured her bestie, actor Huma Qureshi and Iqbal’s sister, stylist Sanam Ratansi.

Now, we have learnt that the couple will host a haldi ceremony on June 20, three days before their wedding.

“The function will take place at Sonakshi’s new Bandra (Mumbai) home, which she bought after leaving her parents’ house. It will be a tight setting with only close friends and family. Less than 50 people have been invited for the function — that’s why they opted for Sona’s house as the venue,” says a source.

The insider also tells us that the bride-to-be is leaning towards unconventional decor for her haldi. The source shares, “She wants to keep the ambience minimal and has suggested certain ideas to the planners. Sonakshi is not going for a typical yellow and pink theme, as she wanted to avoid mainstream decor.”
