Sonakshi shared that she believes personal matters should be kept private, especially since they are both already in the limelight. “Everyone knows you, so what you hold dear should be kept personal,” she said, clarifying that there was no big secret behind their decision to keep their relationship private.
She further admitted, “We met and fell in love, we started going out. I realized early on that it was permanent, but Zaheer took time to make a decision. Once that decision was made, it became easier for us to go public.”
In the same interview, Zaheer Iqbal spoke about his love for Sonakshi, saying, “In the beginning, I thought my feelings for Sonakshi were just a matter of interest, but as time went by, my feelings became deeper. Even though I knew from day one that Sonakshi was the one, I accepted it much later.”
It is worth noting that the announcement of Sonakshi Sinha’s marriage to Zaheer Iqbal, a Muslim friend, caused some buzz, with reports of differences within the family.
