Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal celebrated their first wedding anniversary on June 23. Known for their playful videos and strong chemistry, the couple often delights fans online. Interestingly, few know that Salman Khan played a surprising role in their love story’s beginning.
Sonakshi Sinha reflects on Salman Khan’s unexpected role in her love story with Zaheer Iqbal: “It was because of him that we met”
In a recent conversation with Pinkvilla, Sonakshi shared that she first met Zaheer at a party hosted by Salman Khan. While he wasn’t a formal matchmaker, she referred to him as a “sutradhar” in their story. “He was obviously very happy (about our wedding). He is very fond of both of us. It was because of him that we met, so credit where it’s due,” Sonakshi said.
Sonakshi and Zaheer instantly connected after their first meeting, with Sonakshi confessing her feelings within a week. The couple kept their relationship private for nearly eight years before tying the knot on June 23 last year, 11 years to the day since they first met.
The couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Sonakshi’s Mumbai home, followed by a star-studded reception attended by Bollywood heavyweights like Salman Khan, Rekha, Kajol, Tabu, Anil Kapoor, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Richa Chadha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Raveena Tandon, Honey Singh, and Huma Qureshi.
On the work front, Sonakshi is set to make a comeback with Nikita Roy, a supernatural drama directed by her brother Kussh S Sinha, releasing on June 27. She also confirmed her return in Season 2 of Dahaad alongside Gulshan Devaiah. The Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti crime thriller follows two cops investigating the disappearance of 27 women in Rajasthan.
