Lovebirds Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal: Marriage is a Hit When Your BFF is Your Spouse

Arre bhai, Bollywood’s most loved-up jodi, Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal, are serving us some major couple goals! Their pyaar ki kahani is nothing short of a blockbuster, complete with romance, drama, and a dash of cheekiness. After a whirlwind romance spanning seven years, these two lovebirds finally tied the knot nine months ago, and since then, life has been one big adventure for them. 💑

Ladies and gentlemen, presenting Sonakshi: the diva, the queen of elegance, and Zaheer: the cheeky, dapper dude who can’t keep his hands off his lovely wife. As they pose for the HT City Showstoppers’ Valentine’s cover, the chemistry is as sizzling as aamchi Mumbai ka vada pav! Sonakshi gushes about being able to finally flaunt their relationship, saying, "It’s amazing to not be hiding anymore." Well, Sona, hum sab toh yahi keh rahe the—love is meant to be shared, na? 😍

And boy, have they been sharing! Travel junkies at heart, the duo have been trotting the globe, making memories and collecting stamps on their passports. From their first international getaway to Sri Lanka in 2018 to romantic escapades in Paris and Prague, these two have certainly got the travel bug. Zaheer cheekily admits, "The real fun moments are the ones you can’t capture on Insta!"

Their love story began at a film screening in 2017, and it was love at first sight—or should I say, a challenge at first sight? Sonakshi recalls thinking, "Who is this guy challenging me?" Well, Sona, turns out he was the one who would sweep you off your feet! They chose June 23 as their wedding date as a tribute to the day they first met. Now that’s what I call filmy romance! 💖

As for Valentine’s Day, Sonakshi wasn’t always a fan. But thanks to Zaheer’s cheesy lines and out-of-the-box surprises, she’s now a convert. Their Valentine’s celebrations are as varied as their travels—sometimes it’s a movie, sometimes a quiet dinner, but there’s always a twist thanks to Zaheer’s penchant for romance. He laughingly admits, "I maaro my cheesy dialogues on her every day, and get slapped too!" Oh Zaheer, tumhara toh koi jawaab nahi!

Kiran’s Gyan:
Bollywood and love stories go hand-in-hand like chai and biscuit. The bigger the drama, the spicier the romance. So, whether you’re a Sonakshi-Zair type couple or a single pringle, remember—thoda drama toh banta hai, boss! After all, in Bollywood, pyaar bhi ek movie hai! 🎬
