Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal have captured the hearts of their fans as the newest beloved couple in Bollywood, having recently tied the knot in a private ceremony. Their journey together, kept mostly under wraps until now, has piqued the curiosity of many.

In a candid interview with Bombay Times, Zaheer Iqbal shared the delightful story of how he first crossed paths with Sonakshi Sinha. It was at Salman Khan’s residence where their worlds finally collided. Despite both being regulars at Khan’s gatherings since 2013, fate kept them apart until a special occasion—the after-party of Salman’s movie premiere for ‘Tubelight.’ Zaheer fondly reminisced, “The first time we met was at Salman bhai’s house. I didn’t know she was there, and she didn’t know that I existed! The first time we really spent a lot of time with each other was on June 23, 2017, at the after-party of Salman Khan’s ‘Tubelight’ premiere.”
