Shibani Dandekar and Farhan Akhtar got married in an intimate wedding ceremony, last month. The couple exchanged vows on February 19, in the presence of close friends and family members. After the wedding nuptials, Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar came back home, to Mumbai. In the city, the couple had a civil wedding. They gathered at Zoya Akhtar’s residence in Mumbai and completed the formalities. Shibani had then taken to her Instagram to change her name. Keeping the Indian tradition alive, Dandekar took her husband’s last name ‘Akhtar’ after her birth name.

Shibani changed her Instagram account name to ‘Shibani Dandekar-Akhtar’. Not only that, but the actress also added ‘Mrs Akhtar (heart icon)’ to her Instagram bio. However, Dandekar has now removed ‘Mrs Akhtar’ from her Instagram bio, but continues to keep ‘Akhtar’ in her last name.
