Zaira Wasim, best known for playing young Geeta Phogat in Aamir Khan’s 2016 film “Dangal,” announced her marriage on Instagram late Friday, October 17, 2025, sharing two photos from an intimate nikaah ceremony captioned “Qubool hai x3.” The Indian Express reports the post marked a rare public update from the former actor, who stepped away from films in 2019 citing religious reasons. Hindustan Times adds that the photos show the couple signing the nikaah papers and posing with their backs to the camera; Wasim did not reveal her husband’s identity.
NDTV notes that the images—posted on her verified handle—prompted congratulatory messages from fans as Wasim briefly returned to the platform to share the news. India Today corroborates the minimal caption and describes the first image as signing the nikaah nama and a second under the night sky, underscoring the low-key nature of the ceremony. Outlets emphasized that this was her first major personal update since leaving the industry, aligning with her earlier statements about prioritizing faith.
