Filmmaker Hansal Mehta recently tied the knot with his partner of 17 years, Safeena Hussain in an intimate ceremony in San Francisco, California.

Hansal is known for making acclaimed films and web series like ShahidAligarhOmerta and Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story.

The filmmaker posted photos from the ceremony on his Instagram account.

Hansal's wife Safeena is a social worker and founder of Educate Girls – a non-profit organisation based out of Mumbai. She is the daughter of late actor Yusuf Hussain. Hansal has two daughters with Safeena and two sons from his previous marriage.

Hansal's friends and professional associates took to the comments section to congratulate the newly-wed couple on their special day. Mehta's frequent collaborator Rajkummar Rao, whom the former has directed in Shahid, Citylights and Aligarh, commented, "Congratulations my fav couple. You guys complete each other. I love you both."

Manoj Bajpayee, who has worked with Hansal in Aligarh, wrote in his comment, "Wow! Wow!! Congratulations & best wishes to both of you lovelies."

Scam 1992 star Pratik Gandhi commented, "This is lovely. Well it's inspiring and pressurising too. @bhaminioza (Pratik's wife) is already giving me a hard look."

Celebrity chef Ranveer Brar, who was recently seen in Hansal Mehta's story in the anthology Modern Love Mumbai, dropped heart emojis in the comments.
