Former Bollywood actress Zaira Wasim, known for her role as young Geeta Phogat in Dangal, recently surprised fans by announcing she has tied the knot in an intimate nikah ceremony.
After years of staying away from the limelight, the actress made a rare public appearance on her Instagram account, posting two serene images from the ceremony.
In one, she is seen signing the nikah nama (marriage contract) with ornate mehendi on her hands and wearing a striking emerald ring. In the second, she and her husband stand together under the night sky, facing away from the camera — a silhouette moment full of quiet romance.
Zaira captioned the photos simply, “Qubool hai ×3”, which translates to “I accept — three times,” a customary phrase used in Muslim weddings to signify agreement to the marriage. While she did share glimpses of the ceremony, she chose not to reveal her husband’s identity or face, maintaining her long-practiced privacy.
Her announcement marked her first major personal update in years, after leaving the film industry in 2019, citing religious reasons and a desire to focus on her faith and spiritual life. Her retirement from acting came after delivering critically acclaimed performances in Secret Superstar and The Sky Is Pink, showing promise early in her career.
Though few details about her husband are known publicly, Zaira’s decision to share a quiet, dignified wedding reflects her consistent commitment to personal values and discretion. As fans and media continue to applaud her move, many also respect her choice to keep the identity of her life partner private.
If you like, I can try to dig up public records or credible sources to see if any details about her husband are available and share them in a short profile.
