Sonakshi Sinha‘s wedding with her longtime boyfriend Zaheer Iqbal has to be the dreamiest, yet the simplest wedding we’ve seen in Bollywood in a long time. Sonakshi tied the knot with Zaheer on June 23. The couple recently opened up about how they planned their wedding in 25 days and also got candid about how they met for the first time because of Salman Khan.
Zaheer, in an interview with Bombay Times, said, “The first time we met was at Salman bhai’s (Salman Khan) house,” The actor said that while he and Sonakshi had been attending Salman’s birthday parties at his farmhouse in Panvel, and at Galaxy, the superstar’s Mumbai residence, several times since 2013, but their “paths never crossed”.
“I didn’t know she was there, and she didn’t know that I existed!” Zaheer exclaimed. He then shared how the universe transpired to get them together and it was “all of the sudden”.

Giving an account of their first meeting, Zaheer said that they met one evening, when he and his friends and Salman and his friends were “chilling” at Galaxy, that’s when he and Sonakshi interacted with each other for the first time. However, that’s not how they fell in love and started dating. Zaheer shared, “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.
He said, they “ended up spending five hours together”. That’s the moment the two got really interested in each other and “kept chatting”, until they suddenly, realised that there was no one left in the room except the two of them because the party was long over and all the guests had departed. He said, “We knew that day there was something special here”.
Sonakshi and Zaheer shared that they planned their wedding date to be June 23, 2024, to mark seven years of the day they realised that their bond was special.
