"Happy happy happy Diwali har ghar mei roshni, har ghar mei khushi aap sab ke liye hamari yahi dua hai".
Sonakshi Sinha met Zaheer Iqbal at Salman Khan's Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, Mumbai. In 2013, she saw Zaheer chilling with Salman and his friends. She and Zaheer used to visit Salman's place frequently for his birthdays. However, it was not love at first sight for the actress. Sonakshi had earlier told the Bombay Times in an interview:
"Finally, we met at Galaxy one evening when a few of us just chilled together, and that was our first interaction. But the first time we really spent a lot of time with each other was on June 23, 2017 (hence, we chose that date for our wedding). There was a screening of Tubelight and an afterparty, where we ended up spending five hours together. We kept chatting, and suddenly, we turned around and were like... where did everyone else go? We knew that day there was something special here".
In the same interview, Sonakshi mentioned that her relationship worked because they were both not superficial. She also revealed that when she and Zaheer decided to get married, they wanted to ensure they had a lot of fun on their special day. They did not want to be the couple exhausted after their wedding or more focused on their attire.
On June 23, 2024, Sonakshi married the love of her life, Zaheer. The civil wedding took place at Sonakshi's Mumbai residence. The pair dated for 7 years before beginning a new chapter in their lives. After the wedding, the couple posted their first photos as husband and wife, along with an emotional note. It read:

"On this day, seven years ago (23.06.2017), we saw love in its purest form in each other's eyes and decided to hold on to it. Today, that love has guided us through all the challenges and triumphs, leading up to this moment. With the blessings of both our families and our gods, we are now husband and wife. Here’s to love, hope, and all things beautiful with each other, from now until forever."
