Mr Faisu’s wedding: nikah in Madinah
In October 2026, Mr Faisu announced on Instagram that he’d married in Madinah. Siasat reports that he wore a white sherwani, while his bride wore a white gharara with a red dupatta and gold jewellery. Mid-day also shared pictures from the ceremony.
His caption thanked God for a dream turned into reality, with his whole family beside him. A grand reception is reportedly planned in Mumbai on 19 October, but that date hasn’t been officially confirmed, so check his Instagram for updates.
The wedding wasn’t a total surprise. Earlier this year he said in interviews that he’d marry in 2026 “100%”, brushing off rumours of a July date. He also picked arranged marriage over love marriage in a rapid-fire round. Looking for more celebrity wedding stories? Browse more on Vofeg.
