Sonakshi Sinha to wed beau Zaheer Iqbal; take a look at their relationship timeline

For years, whispers of a romance between Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal swirled in the media and among fans. The actress, however, remained tight-lipped about her personal life. Finally, the news of their wedding has brought their relationship into the spotlight. Let’s delve into the timeline of their rumoured romance, culminating in their upcoming nuptials.

Sonakshi’s soon-to-be husband Zaheer Iqbal, 35, is also a Bollywood actor with a close connection to Salman Khan. Launched by Khan himself, Zaheer made his debut in the 2019 romantic drama “Notebook.” He hails from a wealthy background, according to reports, with his father being a successful jeweller and businessman; and his sister Sanam Ratansi being a celebrity stylist.

Rumours suggest that Sonakshi and Zaheer first met at a party hosted by Salman. This initial encounter is believed to have laid the foundation for their friendship, which eventually blossomed into love.

The couple’s professional paths crossed in the 2022 Netflix film “Double XL,” co-starring Sonakshi’s friend Huma Qureshi. Working together reportedly brought them closer, solidifying their bond.

In 2023, Sonakshi and Zaheer made their first public appearance as a couple at Aayush Sharma and Arpita Khan’s Eid bash. This marked a turning point, leaving little room for speculation about their relationship status.

While they haven’t openly spoken about their relationship, their social media interactions hinted at a deeper connection. Zaheer’s heartfelt birthday wishes to Sonakshi, featuring romantic photos, and Sonakshi’s playful reference to Zaheer as her “personal psycho” offered glimpses into their affection.

Despite maintaining privacy, Sonakshi and Zaheer’s fondness for each other was evident. Now, their reported wedding marks a significant chapter in their love story. As they embark on this new journey together, all eyes are on the couple’s upcoming nuptials.

Recently, her father Shatrughan Sinha shut down the gossip mill, which speculated the Sinha family would give the nuptials a miss, telling the “frustrated” people to go “khamosh,” as “it’s none of your business. Mind only your business.”
