Movie Review: Thank You For Coming - 3.5/5

Zayed Khan and Malaika Parekh had a unique, interfaith marriage ceremony in 2005 that combined both Hindu and Muslim customs. Before their large planned wedding with 2,000 guests, they held a secret, intimate Hindu wedding at Taj Village in Goa with about 30 close friends, where they performed the traditional seven pheras (circling the fire). Following this, they also had a nikah ceremony, the Islamic marriage contract, marking their union according to Muslim customs. Zayed admitted he was not familiar with Hindu rituals and relied on Malaika to lead the ceremony. This private ceremony was intended to avoid the extravagance they associated with big weddings and was a surprise to their friends and family[1][2][3]. Malaika converted to Islam before the nikah, and their Muslim wedding involved traditional outfits: Zayed wore a bandhgala sherwani, and Malaika wore a sharara with a dupatta covering her head. Their marriage reflects a respectful blending of their respective religious traditions[1]. They have two sons together, born in 2008 and 2011, and married officially on November 20, 2005[4].
