The journey of love for Bollywood actor Sonakshi Sinha and her now-husband, actor Zaheer Iqbal, was kept largely out of the public eye for several years before their wedding. The couple, who were together for about seven years before tying the knot, had a clear and thoughtful reason for maintaining the secrecy around their relationship. This decision was rooted in a combination of the need for privacy and a genuine belief in traditional protective sentiments.
One of the primary and most candid reasons Sonakshi Sinha gave for keeping her long-term relationship with Zaheer Iqbal under wraps was her belief in the concept of "nazar" (the evil eye).
In an industry where personal lives are constantly scrutinized and subjected to public opinion, Sonakshi felt that something as "dear" and close to her heart as her romantic relationship needed to be shielded from external, potentially negative, energy.
She explained that there was no elaborate plan or strategy to keep it hidden; rather, it felt like a natural progression for a private matter. Since they were both already in the public spotlight, they consciously chose to keep this specific, personal part of their lives for themselves.
Waiting for Commitment: The Marriage Milestone
Beyond the belief in "nazar," Sonakshi shared that she made the decision to keep her relationships private until she was certain that she was going to marry the person.
For Sonakshi, the relationship with Zaheer was kept private until she "knew I was actually going to marry this person, which happened with Zaheer." This indicates a desire to only go public with a relationship that had reached the milestone of a lifelong commitment, avoiding unnecessary public speculation about temporary partnerships.
Sonakshi revealed that her connection with Zaheer was almost instantaneous. Despite this early certainty on her part (she reportedly told him she loved him within a week of meeting and wanted to marry him within a month), the decision to share their story with the world was reserved until their marriage solidified their intent.
