When asked how the two managed to become such effortless “couple goals,” the Dabangg star laughed and said, “By not trying! We’re literally just two friends living life. Zaheer ne mujhe ‘Pyaar dosti hai’ jaisi cheesy lines se pataya tha. He used to say so many filmy dialogues, and I would think, ‘These are so cheesy, how am I even falling for this?’ (laughs)”
Sonakshi's first meeting with Zaheer Iqbal
Recalling how they first met, Sonakshi shared that it all started at a party held at Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments. At the time, Zaheer was being prepared for his debut film Notebook, while Sonakshi was already close to Salman and his family through her long-standing association with them. “For six or seven years, we kept crossing paths but never actually met or even saw each other properly. Then one day, we were finally introduced at a party. We started talking, just silly, random things, but I immediately noticed his confidence. Usually, people get intimidated by me for some reason, especially boys back then. But Zaheer wasn’t. I found that really refreshing,” she said.ALSO READ: Sonakshi Sinha Calls Herself Accidental Actor; Recalls How Salman Khan Influenced Her To Join ShowbizTheir next meeting turned out to be the turning point. “The very next day, we met again at the Tubelight screening and later at the after-party.
