The Sanju actor shared a picture from their marriage ceremony on Instagram that featured Mirza and Rekhi holding a basket of ritualistic offerings in front of the holy fire and beside them, Atta was seated chanting mantras.
Mirza wrote she was thankful for Atta as she had conducted the ceremony wonderfully.

The close-knit affair saw the attendance of only friends and family at Mirza’s residence in Mumbai. Actor Aditi Rao Hydari and actor-producer Jackky Bhagnani were also seen at the venue. The pair greeted the paparazzi together, distributing sweets as a sign of gratitude.
Mirza was previously married to film producer Sahil Sangha. They parted ways in 2019 after being together for 11 years. Rekhi's first wife was yoga and lifestyle coach Sunaina Rekhi.
