Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal entered into matrimony in June of this year after a lengthy courtship. The couple initially ignited speculation regarding a possible pregnancy when they were seen together outside a medical facility, and subsequent images of the newlyweds further fueled these conjectures. Recently, in an interview with Curly Tales, Sonakshi Sinha addressed the rumors with a clever and lighthearted remark.
Sonakshi Sinha reacts to pregnancy rumours
In response to inquiries about their social engagements post-marriage, Sonakshi Sinha stated, “Yes, and I would like to clarify that I am not pregnant. I have simply gained some weight.” She humorously noted that someone had congratulated Zaheer Iqbal that day, questioning, “Can’t we just enjoy our marriage?” Zaheer Iqbal then added with a jest, “The next day her diet began.”
Sonakshi continued, “It has only been four months; we are genuinely busy traveling and enjoying ourselves, and the invitations for lunches and dinners seem never-ending.” Zaheer humorously remarked, “The amusing part is that it came out of nowhere. There was a photo of us with our dog, and suddenly people assumed, ‘Oh, she is pregnant.’ I was baffled by the connection.” Sonakshi concluded, “People can be quite irrational.”
How Sonakshi Sinha's pregnancy rumours started
The origins of the pregnancy rumors can be traced back to October when Sonakshi Sinha posted a picture with Zaheer Iqbal, cradling their dog. She captioned the image, "Guess the pookie." This post led to a flurry of congratulatory messages regarding a potential pregnancy, with comments such as, "Congratulations on the pregnancy," and "Congrats for having a little one soon."
Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal were in a relationship for seven years before their intimate wedding ceremony on June 23. The event was attended by family and close friends, including Huma Qureshi and Aditi Rao Hydari, and was followed by a lavish reception featuring Bollywood luminaries such as Rekha, Aditya Roy Kapur, Salman Khan, and Richa Chadha.
