In an interview for the Couple Of Things YouTube channel, Zayed Khan revealed that he had a secret marriage to his wife, Malaika, according to Hindu Vedic ways. He revealed that the couple had invited thirty of their friends to Taj Village in Goa, and they surprised everyone with their intimate wedding.
Zayed added that he didn't want a grand wedding with 2,000 people as they thought it was a circus. Recalling the moment, Zayed said:
"I've never mentioned this before. Our wedding guest list had 2,000 names. In our minds, we're wondering if this is a wedding or a circus. So, we called up 30 of our friends and told them that we are going to Taj Village in Goa, and there’s a surprise for everybody there."
Zayed Khan further added that it was his wife, Malaika, who organised a pandit and pheras, which was a beautiful destination wedding. It was a beautiful, memorable event. He was questioned about whether Zayed and Malaika were actually married before they officially got married. He said:
"Very sweetly, she had organised a pandit and pheras. And in Goa, at Taj Village, we actually got married before we got married. We did our seven pheras, and it was such a beautiful destination wedding. We really wanted to remember our wedding day and have fun."
Zayed also shared that he comes from a family that believes in every religion and its Gods. They do not question each other's beliefs. So, when his wife, Malaika, decided to get married in a private Hindu ceremony, he didn't hesitate once and asked her to lead the way, and he would follow her.
