Ashish Nehra attends intimate Zaheer Khan-Sagarika Ghatge wedding
Zaheer Khan and Sagarika Ghatge got married in Mumbai today while Bhuvneshwar Kumar will tie the knot with Nupur Nagar in Meerut later today.
Zaheer Khan tied the knot with Sagarika Ghatge in Mumbai and the homely, intimate wedding was attended by among others, Zaheer's former India teammate Ashish Nehra.
Zaheer had announced his engagement with 'Chak de India' star Sagarika earlier this year. The two were scheduled to get married on November 27 at a five-star hotel in Mumbai but the date was brought forward to November 23.
Incidentally, another India pacer, Bhuvneshwar Kumar will get married to Nupur Nagar later today.
Zaheer and Bhuvneshwar are the latest among India's star cricketers to get married. Last year, Yuvraj tied the knot with Hazel Keech while Rohit Sharma and Harbhajan Singh got married in 2015.
Bombay Times reported the Zaheer-Sagarika wedding would be a "homely affair". The report also said a cocktail party would be held at a hotel after the wedding ceremony. The reception will be held Monday evening.
Zaheer debuted for India back in 2000 in Kenya and went on to become an integral part of Indian teams subsequently. Zak, as he is fondly called by his teammates, played 92 Tests and picked 311 wickets. In 200 ODIS, he pocketed 282 wickets and played a major role in India's World Cup triumph in 2011.
He retired from international cricket in 2015.
And the last man from the group is down. Welcome to the other side of the world Zak. Wish you both a blissful marriage @ImZaheer @sagarikavghatge ??? pic.twitter.com/ExWVqtcWl5- Rohit Sharma (@ImRo45) November 23, 2017
