Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal, one of Bollywood’s most discussed couples of 2024, tied the knot on June 23. The couple has captured a lot of attention since their wedding, which was initially rumoured to have faced opposition from Sonakshi’s family. However, the Sinha family soon expressed their support for the actress’s decision. Sonakshi and Zaheer chose a simple wedding ceremony, followed by a grand reception with close family and friends. Now, as they approach the three-month mark of their marriage, rumours about baby planning have started swirling. The couple recently addressed these speculations in an interview, providing candid responses.
Sonakshi and Zaheer on Their Baby Plans
During a recent interview with Zoom, Sonakshi and Zaheer were asked directly about their baby plans. Sonakshi, always known for her witty remarks, jokingly said, “Even our parents haven’t asked us this question yet!” Zaheer, joining in, added, “No, no… right now we are both enjoying our married life. We love children, but we also understand that once we have a child, our life will revolve entirely around them. For now, we’re happy spending time together and focusing on ourselves.”
Echoing Zaheer’s thoughts, Sonakshi agreed and said, “Yes, we are in no rush. Right now, we’re just happy enjoying our time as newlyweds.” The couple made it clear that while they both look forward to having children in the future, it’s not something they’re considering at this moment.
Addressing Pregnancy Rumours
After their marriage, there were rumours circulating that Sonakshi might be pregnant. These rumours gained traction when she was spotted visiting the hospital shortly after her wedding. However, the actress was quick to shut down such speculations. She explained that her hospital visit was due to her father Shatrughan Sinha being admitted for treatment, and not for any personal reasons.
Sonakshi humorously remarked, “Just because we visit the hospital doesn’t mean I’m pregnant! Can’t we visit a hospital for other reasons?” She laughed off the rumours, making it clear that her hospital visit had no connection to any pregnancy news.
Sinha Family’s Reaction to Sonakshi’s Marriage
Sonakshi also shared insights into how her family, especially her father, reacted to her marriage. She revealed that her family and close friends had known about her relationship with Zaheer for years. Speaking about her father Shatrughan Sinha’s reaction to the marriage, Sonakshi said, “My father was very happy with our decision. He has known Zaheer for a long time and has always liked him. As they say, when the husband and wife agree, what can the Qazi do?”
The actress made it clear that despite initial rumours, her family has always been supportive of her relationship with Zaheer, and they were thrilled when the couple decided to make it official.
Seven Years of Love Before Marriage
Sonakshi and Zaheer had been in a relationship for seven years before they surprised everyone by announcing their wedding. Despite being in the public eye, they kept their relationship private, never officially confirming it until their marriage in June. The couple opted for a civil ceremony in Mumbai, choosing to celebrate their love in an intimate setting.
Sonakshi’s Recent Projects
On the professional front, Sonakshi Sinha has been keeping busy. She was recently seen in the horror-comedy film Kakuda, which was released on Zee5. Prior to that, she made waves with her performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-anticipated series Heeramandi on Netflix. With her personal and professional life in a great place, Sonakshi is enjoying this exciting phase of her life.
