Bollywood actors Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal have revealed that Salman Khan was the first to sense their growing relationship, even before they acknowledged it themselves. The couple shared the story during a recent appearance on a talk show, recalling how the Bollywood superstar noticed their bond early on.
Speaking on Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi’s show, Sonakshi said she first met Zaheer Iqbal at a party hosted by Salman Khan. According to the actress, Salman repeatedly hinted that he could see a connection between them, despite both denying they were in a relationship at the time.
Couple Recalls Salman Khan’s Advice
Sonakshi revealed that Salman once called her aside and jokingly predicted that one day she and Zaheer would break up and both would come to him to share their side of the story. She said his remarks surprised them because they had not publicly acknowledged their relationship.
Zaheer Iqbal also confirmed the incident, saying he had never discussed his relationship with Salman but believed the actor had already figured it out.
“Everything Is Visible”
Zaheer recalled a trekking trip during which Salman Khan simply told him, “Everything is visible,” without asking any questions or discussing the matter further. He said the comment clearly referred to his relationship with Sonakshi.
Prediction Did Not Come True
The couple’s relationship continued despite Salman’s light-hearted prediction. According to reports, Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal dated privately for around seven years, appeared together in the 2022 film Double XL, and married in a private ceremony in Mumbai in June 2024.
The couple continue to share updates from their married life on social media.
