Truth Behind Sonakshi Sinha’s Rumoured Relationship with Actor Zaheer Iqbal Revealed

Zaheer Iqbal made his Bollywood debut with the 2019 film Notebook opposite Pranutan Bahl. The film was produced by Salman Khan under Salman Khan Films, who introduced Zaheer to the movies. There were also rumours of Zaheer dating actress Sonakshi Sinha.

Sonakshi is a dear friend to Salman and co-starred with him in the hit Dabangg series. She was soon spotted with newbie Zaheer and the rumours of their relationship made headlines. However, nothing concrete ever surfaced and nor did any of the two actors talk about it.

In a recent interview with Times of India, Zaheer broke open about all such rumours and shut them down. He revealed that they laughed when they read about it and also stated how it was awkward because he was dating someone at that time.

Sonakshi and I laughed after reading the dating rumours. It was my first rumour so I didn't know how to react on it. People have seen all of us. Sonakshi and I chill together and someone must have seen that and might have started the rumour. Well, I'm sure that’s how it started. On the day this happened, we messaged each other because we got a notification on Google Alerts. Do you know what the mess up was? I was dating someone no one knew. It became a bit awkward between us as Sonakshi knew who I was dating then!

Well, this might put all the rumours to rest.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Zaheer might be seen in Salman Khan's upcoming film Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali. Talking about the same, he said, “It could be, it’s possible. Anything can happen. I don’t know! If it happens, I will be very happy!”
