Sonakshi Sinha has revealed that her belief in the thoda nazar “evil eye” was the reason she kept her relationship with Zaheer Iqbal private until their wedding.
The Bollywood star opened up about her romantic journey during an appearance on a show, where she shared candid insights into her love life.
Sonakshi and Zaheer dated for several years before tying the knot on June 23, 2024, in an intimate ceremony at their Mumbai residence.
Reflecting on her decision to keep her past relationships out of the spotlight, Sonakshi explained: “I have kept my relationships under wraps because thoda nazar I believe in.
“Honestly, I didn’t want it to be public until I knew I was actually going to marry this person, which happened with Zaheer.”
The Double XL actor recalled that her connection with Zaheer was instant.
“When I saw him, it was an instant click. I just knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this guy,” she said.
Sonakshi added that she confessed her love within a week of meeting him, leaving Zaheer both surprised and amused.
“He called up his best friend and said, ‘Listen, I think she’s confused, she’s nuts!’” she laughed.
Sonakshi further revealed that within a month of meeting Zaheer, she told him she wanted to marry him.
“Within a month, I told him, ‘I’m gonna marry you only’. And seven years later, we did get married. I have never felt like that with anybody else.
“When I did, I didn’t hide it. If he ran away, he ran away, but clearly, he didn’t. It worked out well.”
