Sonakshi and Zaheer tied the knot in 2024 in an interfaith ceremony conducted under the Special Marriage Act, a legal provision in India that allows individuals of different religions to marry without converting to the other’s religion. The wedding drew widespread public attention, not only because of the couple’s celebrity status but also because of conversations about interfaith marriages in the country.

About Sonakshi and Zaheer’s love story

Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal first met around 2016 at a party hosted by Salman Khan, who has been a mentor figure to both. They soon struck up a friendship that grew stronger over time, especially as they moved in similar social and professional circles. By 2017, the two had reportedly started dating, though they kept their relationship largely private in the early years. Their public appearances together, vacations, and subtle social media interactions gradually fueled speculation, but neither confirmed the relationship openly for a long time. Their bond became more visible after they worked together in the 2022 film Double XL, where their on-screen chemistry mirrored their real-life comfort. Over the years, they developed a reputation for their fun-loving and supportive dynamic, often sharing light-hearted videos and candid moments online. After nearly seven years together, their relationship culminated in marriage in 2024 under the Special Marriage Act, marking a significant step that reflected both their long-standing commitment and mutual understanding.
