Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal have been one of Bollywood's most adored couples, who never miss a chance to woo the audience and fans with their chemistry.

During a candid conversation with Soha Ali Khan on her podcast, Sonakshi Sinha opened up about steering through a particularly difficult phase with her now-husband Zaheer, which ultimately led them to couples therapy.
Reflecting on their early years of courtship, Sonakshi admitted that their relationship hit a rough patch around the three-year mark. She humorously described this phase as their “three-year itch."
“Just when we were three years into the relationship, we had a phase where we just wanted to pull each other’s hair out," she shared. “No matter what we did, we just couldn’t understand each other’s perspective," she shared. Despite the frustration and differences, she said that the couple knew they wanted to fight for the relationship. That’s when Zaheer suggested couples therapy, and Sonakshi embraced the decision instantly.
She shared, “I was open to it, and after two sessions, we were back on track. It helped so much to understand what the other person thinks, and that what they say is not necessarily what they mean."

During the same podcast, Sonakshi also opened up about how she was the first to say “I love you" within just a week of dating. She added how Zaheer laughed, assuming she was joking or simply moving too fast.
For the unversed, the couple had earlier shared that Sonakshi and Zaheer’s first meeting was at a party hosted by Salman Khan. They started interacting casually, which then bloomed into a close friendship and eventually, love.
They kept their relationship away from public scrutiny for several years. After about seven years of dating, they finally made it official. They tied the knot in a civil ceremony in Mumbai in June 2024, in the presence of their intimate family and close friends. The private wedding was followed by a star-studded celebration.
