She wrote, "My mother had one wish… to start the wedding with a dua. My beautiful Ama, who is in a wheel chair - one would think she can’t do much - but really, she can do everything and anything. She sat and managed the decoration downstairs, the table, the moving around of furniture anddd she was ready dot on time..Alhumdulillah for our parents"
Mahira added, "Later on that day, my childhood girlfriends had a mayun for me. Alhumdulillah for friends I can call my sisters. P.S I took a bud of the motia and put it in my baali before going down.. for my Nani and Dadi"

According to reports, he is the CEO of a renowned start-up company called Simpaisa which facilitates merchants from different sectors in over 15 countries. Apart from that, he is claimed to be a professional DJ
Mahira, in her posts on Instagram, credited her friends, for making her wedding a joyous occasion
"So when I told my friends about the wedding… I also laid out a few ‘requests’. This is how they went - Me - Guys please I’m too old for dances, can we not have dances? Friends - No. we have to. M - Ok just one? F - Hell No. M - Ok please no dholkis before Bhurban. We should all just chill. F - talk to the (hand icon). As time came close and they all were over everyday.. I realised they just wanted to celebrate me and us. My childhood friends, work friends, my cousins… had seen it all with me - held me when I was down and clapped when I succeeded. I had done the same with them. To these insanely amazing humans I call family. I love you all so freaking much," she wrote
As per reports, Mahira and her squad danced to Shah Rukh Khan's song Mahi Ve from the film Kal Ho Naa Ho
For her sangeet, Mahira brought in colours with her white lehenga covered in red floral prints. The red matched the blush on her face as she joyously celebrated her big day with her husband and loved ones
