Hum Kahan Kay Sachay Thay actor Usman Mukhtar and Zunaira Inam kicked off their wedding festivities with a traditional Mayoun ceremony on Wednesday night.
The couple, who tied the knot in an intimate nikkah ceremony earlier this year, donned matching yellow outfits for the occasion. Usman opted for a kurta-pajama combo, accessorising with a shawl to mark the start of the winter season. The bride went for an understated lehenga with red banarsi detailing, complemented by a heavy traditional choker-earrings set.
The acclaimed Parchi star took to Instagram after his nikkah and shared a few pictures from the event, followed by a heartfelt caption for the occasion. The couple, clad in colour-coordinated outfits, looked nothing less than ecstatic.
"Thank you for making me the luckiest man on earth. I haven’t felt such happiness in a very long time," wrote the Bench director. He went on to add, "You’ve stood by me in the moments I was down and amplified the happy moments. You have been my rock and my support. I am blessed."
Mukhtar further shared details of his SOP-compliant wedding. "Dear world, I married this amazing woman today in a small, socially distant gathering." He further added how his wedding date was done early due to the alarming rise in the number of Covid-19 cases and partial lockdowns.
"Our big day was supposed to be on April 2 but due to the lockdown restrictions from April 1, we had to pull it back," the actor continued. "We were tested and followed SOPs. We both need your duas and blessings."
