Farah Khan recently paid a visit to the new home of Sonakshi Sinha, which she shares with husband Zaheer Iqbal, for a candid and fun-filled chat that quickly turned into a conversation about love, family and their journey together. Accompanied by her cook Dilip, Farah — who is known for visiting celebrity homes and engaging them in conversations around food and personal anecdotes — was welcomed warmly by Sonakshi’s mother Poonam Sinha and Zaheer’s mother Mumtaz, both of whom later joined the interaction.

During the house tour and casual banter, Farah couldn’t resist probing deeper into Sonakshi and Zaheer’s much-discussed love story. While the couple had largely maintained silence during their dating phase, Farah used the opportunity to ask questions about when and how the family became aware of their relationship. When Sonakshi and Zaheer reminisced about a special gift they received from a close acquaintance in Nepal after their engagement, Farah turned to Poonam Sinha and asked when she first found out about the two dating.

This sparked a playful exchange, with Sonakshi giggling and asserting that her mother knew all along. Poonam Sinha then revealed that Zaheer’s proposal to Sonakshi took place under the Northern Lights, a detail that instantly caught Farah’s attention. However, when asked whether she knew that the couple had been dating for over five years, Poonam admitted that she wasn’t fully aware of the timeline, prompting Sonakshi to jokingly call her out on camera and insist that she was the first person to be informed — even before her father, veteran actor and politician Shatrughan Sinha.

The conversation soon turned more revealing, with Poonam sharing that it took nearly two years to convince Shatrughan Sinha to give his approval for the marriage. She also mentioned that she always had a positive inclination towards the relationship, especially noticing the small and thoughtful gestures Sonakshi made for Zaheer, which reassured her about their bond.

Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal reportedly grew close while working together on the film Double XL, where their friendship eventually blossomed into a relationship. After dating for several years away from the public eye, the couple tied the knot last year in an intimate ceremony in 2024, surrounded by family and close friends.

Farah Khan’s visit offered fans a rare, unfiltered glimpse into the couple’s personal journey — blending humour, honesty and family warmth — and highlighted how Sonakshi and Zaheer’s relationship evolved from quiet companionship to a marriage rooted in mutual understanding and familial acceptance.
