'It Was A Top Secret Wedding.'

Sana said that her wedding was kept incredibly quiet, with only her parents in the know.

"Our marriage was a high secret, known only to my mother and father. Nobody knew the groom's name. When I was applying mehndi, the artist asked for the groom's name. I advised her to leave it blank and we'd write it next time.

She further revealed that even her extended family was ignorant of her nuptials. Sana described how startled her cousins were when they first saw her spouse. "When my cousins saw him in the mosque, they called my cousin sister and said, 'This is Maulana Anas!'"

'Nobody can brainwash you'

Sana emphatically denied the numerous rumours that her spouse pressured or misled her into quitting Bollywood. "The circumstance was such that significant changes were taking place in my life. I was actually becoming a new person. And this was not triggered by my spouse; it was something I want for myself. He was the one who led me in that route.

In response to internet trolls, she stated, "Nobody can brainwash you; it's never like that. I desired tranquilly. A person may achieve wealth, fame, notoriety, and respect, but they will always seek inner serenity." Sana elaborated on her thinking, saying, "They believe that when your circumstances aren't appropriate, your decisions are likely to be bad. I learnt a few things throughout time, which is why I love our connection so much. I constantly assuring my hubby that I could never find someone better than him. It was a difficult decision, but I went for it."

Sana also shared information regarding her wedding expenditures, stating that her husband handled the majority of the arrangements. "Except for the mehndi, which I paid for myself, all the expenses, the nikah, accommodation and food for my family, and the reception, everything was taken care of by my husband."
