Zaheer Iqbal reveals ‘wanted to elope’ with Sonakshi Sinha

Bollywood star Sonakshi Sinha and her longtime boyfriend Zaheer Iqbal got married in a civil ceremony on June 23.

They also hosted a grand party for their family and friends from the industry.

Actor husband of Bollywood diva Sonakshi Sinha, Zaheer Iqbal, revealed that he wanted to elope with her to another country, but not because of the public scrutiny due to their interfaith marriage.

In a recent interview, the couple discussed their decision to have a small wedding.

Zaheer Iqbal confessed that he had thoughts, of eloping with Sonakshi Sinha abroad to get married and then return to India.

However, it is not due to the criticism towards their interfaith marriage, but to have a ‘very intimate wedding ceremony’.

“I wanted to elope…. just bounce to the country and go somewhere, get married, and come back; but I got to know that wedding is not valid in India…,” he said.

To which, his better half shared, “So that plan was cancelled and I always wanted a very intimate wedding. And he was okay as long as his most important people were there, which is our friends and family, that were present at the signing.”
