Shazahn Padamsee, best known for her roles in Bollywood films like 'Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year' and 'Housefull 2,' and businessman Ashish Kanakia, CEO of MovieMax Cinemas and Director at Kanakia Group, made their first public appearance as husband and wife at their wedding reception held on Saturday, June 7, 2025. The couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in Mumbai on June 5, 2025, surrounded by close friends and family.

The wedding reception was a grand affair, attended by numerous celebrities from the film industry, including Neil Nitin Mukesh, veteran music composer Rajesh Roshan, and director Ashutosh Gowariker, all of whom came to extend their heartfelt congratulations to the newlyweds.

For the reception, Shazahn Padamsee chose a stunning ivory lehenga, while Ashish Kanakia looked dapper in an embroidered black sherwani. Earlier in the day for their wedding, Shazahn and Ashish wore ivory ensembles designed by Manish Malhotra.

The couple's journey to their wedding began with a roka ceremony in January 2025. Shazahn shared beautiful pictures from her wedding day on Instagram, captioning them with "This day. This feeling. Our forever." The images quickly garnered attention, with netizens and members of the film fraternity flooding the comment section with warm wishes. Actors Zareen Khan and Anusha Dandekar were among those who congratulated the couple.

Shazahn is the daughter of the late Padma Shri Alyque Padamsee, a renowned theatre personality, and singer-actress Sharon Prabhakar. The wedding festivities included traditional ceremonies such as the Mehendi and Haldi, reflecting the couple's deep appreciation for cultural traditions. A Broadway-inspired event was also part of the celebration, paying homage to Shazahn's father's legacy in Indian theatre. According to a source, the celebration was more than just a party; it was a live musical extravaganza with retro performances and Broadway-style showmanship. The décor featured soft hues of blush pink and sage green, creating a serene and ethereal atmosphere.

In an earlier interview, Shazahn shared her feelings about Ashish, stating, "We laugh a lot together as he has a really fun playful side. He is an extremely warm and caring person. Although we come from different backgrounds, our core values are the same." She added, "When Ashish and I met, both of us were looking for a long-term, stable relationship. From day one I felt most at peace with Ashish. I feel I can be my most authentic self with him. It is said that when you meet the one, you will feel peace and not butterflies, and in my case, that's exactly what happened. He has shown me the importance of being less sensitive towards criticism, and not to take life too seriously. We have our set of challenges like most couples do. Luckily, we both dislike the silent treatment and prefer communicating openly to resolve things instead of letting them fester.”
