Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha is all set to marry her longtime boyfriend, actor Zaheer Iqbal, on June 23 in Mumbai. The couple, who have kept their relationship relatively private, have been the subject of frequent wedding rumors in the media. Now, it seems, those rumors are finally coming true.
In June 2022, Sonakshi humorously addressed the ongoing speculation with a playful video on social media. She captioned it, “Me to the media: Kyu haath dho kar meri shadi karwana chahte ho? Proposal, roka, mehendi, sangeet sab fix kar hi liya hai toh pls mujhe bata do,” poking fun at the persistent gossip.
Wedding Details Revealed
According to sources, the wedding will be held at a venue in South Mumbai, specifically at the restaurant Bastian. Sonakshi’s father, veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha, has given his blessings to the couple. A source close to the couple confirmed, “The wedding rumors are all true. Sonakshi and Zaheer have been living together for the past year, and they will get married on June 23.”
Both Sonakshi and Zaheer owe their Bollywood debuts to Salman Khan’s films. Sonakshi’s breakthrough came with “Dabangg” in 2010, while Zaheer made his debut with “Notebook” in 2019. The couple co-starred in the film “Double XL,” which further fueled speculation about their relationship.
A Peek into Their Relationship
Zaheer Iqbal recently shared a heartfelt post on Sonakshi’s birthday, featuring several charming and intimate photos of the couple. In one picture, Zaheer is seen hugging Sonakshi, while others include a glamorous black-and-white shot and some candid selfies. His caption read, “Kuch toh log kahenge, logo ka kaam hai kehna. Neways… You can always lean on me. You are the best. Keep ‘Roaring’ and soaring always. May you see more of the world than anyone ever has. May you always live the mermaid life. Always be HAPPY. I love you.”
The couple’s relationship has been a topic of much speculation. Despite maintaining that they are “just friends,” their frequent public displays of affection and social media interactions suggest otherwise. Actor Varun Sharma’s Instagram post further hinted at their romantic involvement.
The Couple’s Journey
Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal reportedly met at a party hosted by Salman Khan. Their connection was immediate, leading to a blossoming friendship that eventually turned romantic. The couple worked together in “Double XL” and often share glimpses of their life together on social media, attending events side by side yet never officially confirming their relationship status.
Wedding Preparations
Planning for the wedding has been underway for some time, but the couple decided to wait until after the elections. Sonakshi’s father, Shatrughan Sinha, was busy campaigning in Asansol, West Bengal, where he emerged victorious as a candidate from the TMC party. With the elections concluded and his win secured, the family is set to celebrate the wedding as a double joyous occasion.
Sonakshi and Zaheer’s wedding is poised to be one of the most talked-about events in Bollywood this year. Fans and the media alike are eagerly anticipating the nuptials of this beloved couple, marking a new chapter in their lives together.
