Zaheer Iqbal: A Rising Star in Bollywood and His Journey with Sonakshi Sinha

Zaheer Iqbal, the talented actor who recently tied the knot with Bollywood star Sonakshi Sinha, has been making waves in the Indian film industry. Their marriage, which took place on June 23, 2024, was a culmination of a seven-year secret relationship that the couple had kept under wraps due to their belief in nazar (the evil eye).

Early Career and Notable Projects

Zaheer Iqbal's career in Bollywood began to gain traction with his appearance in the music video Blockbuster in September 2022, where he starred alongside Sonakshi Sinha. The song, featuring vocals by Ammy Virk and Asees Kaur, marked one of the early public collaborations between the couple.

One of his most notable roles was in the 2022 film Double XL, directed by Satram Ramani. In this film, Zaheer shared screen space with Sonakshi Sinha and other prominent actors like Huma Qureshi and Mahat Raghavendra. The movie narrates the story of two plus-size women facing body-shaming and their journey to London to chase their dreams.

Relationship with Sonakshi Sinha

Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal's relationship began when they met at a party at Salman Khans Galaxy apartment, but it was at Salmans afterparty for Tubelight that they felt a significant connection. They spent five hours in conversation, realizing there was something special between them.

Despite being in the limelight, the couple chose to keep their relationship private. Sonakshi explained that this decision was driven by her belief in nazar and the desire to keep personal matters away from public scrutiny. She emphasized that being in the public eye already, it was important to keep something as dear as their relationship to themselves.

Zaheer Iqbal also reflected on their relationship, admitting that he initially thought the excitement was just the newness of the relationship. However, over time, he realized that Sonakshi was the one for him. Their natural progression from friends to partners was organic and devoid of any elaborate strategy to keep it hidden.

Wedding and Public Revelation

The couple finally tied the knot in an intimate civil marriage at Sonakshis Mumbai residence, followed by a grand reception attended by celebrities like Aditi Rao Hydari, Salman Khan, and Kajol. The wedding marked a significant moment for the couple, who decided to celebrate their love without worrying about the worlds opinion.

In a recent conversation, Sonakshi and Zaheer opened up about their decision to keep their relationship private and their joy in finally celebrating their love publicly. They emphasized the importance of positive energy and the presence of people who genuinely care for them on their special day.
