Sonakshi Sinha reveals Salman Khan played matchmaker in her love story with Zaheer Iqbal

Sonakshi Sinha shares a strong connection with Salman Khan, who introduced her to Bollywood through their film 'Dabangg'. In a recent interview, she revealed that Salman also had a small but meaningful influence on her relationship with Zaheer Iqbal, highlighting the supportive role he plays in her life beyond the screen.

Salman's Reaction to the Marriage

When asked about Khan’s reaction to her marriage with Zaheer, Sonakshi highlighted that the actor was happy and credited him for her first meeting with Zaheer. Talking to Pinkvilla, Sonakshi said that he was obviously very happy and very fond of Zaheer and her. She added that it was obviously because of him that they met, so all due credit belongs to him.


Salman as a "Sutradhar"

When asked if Salman played the role of a matchmaker between her and Zaheer, Sonakshi clarified that he was not exactly a matchmaker. She explained that they met at a party at Salman’s house, so he was more like a sutradhar.

Recalling Her 'Dabangg' Debut

The actress recalled feeling very under confident on her first day on the sets of 'Dabangg', admitting she was unprepared and unsure of what she had gotten into. She described the experience as strange, not knowing where she had been dropped off. However, she acknowledged that destiny had plans for her, and once she started, there was no turning back.

Upcoming Projects

On the professional front, Sonakshi Sinha was most recently seen in 'Kakuda', a horror-comedy directed by Aditya Sarpotdar. She is now preparing for her next project, 'Nikita Roy', a supernatural drama directed by her brother, Kush S Sinha. The film is scheduled to release on June 27.

Nikita Roy also features Paresh Rawal, Arjun Rampal, and Suhail Nayyar in lead roles. The film will clash with another mytho-horror movie, 'MAA' starring Kajol.
