Bollywood star Sonakshi Sinha has been with her partner Zaheer Iqbal for eight years, and while they've shared many happy moments on social media, their relationship hasn't been without its challenges. In a recent conversation with Soha Ali Khan on her podcast, Sonakshi opened up about the 'three-year itch' they experienced and how they sought couples therapy to work through their issues. Sonakshi revealed that around three years into their relationship, they hit a rough patch where they found themselves at odds with each other. 'We just wanted to pull each other's hair out,' she candidly shared. However, they both knew they wanted to make their relationship work and decided to try couples therapy, which Zaheer had suggested. After just two sessions, they were back on track and credited the therapy for helping them understand each other's perspectives and communication styles. In the same podcast, Sonakshi also shared a sweet anecdote about how she confessed her love to Zaheer just a week into dating, only to be met with laughter. However, it was clear that Sonakshi was smitten, not just with Zaheer's looks, but with the way he made her feel. The couple's love story began at a party hosted by Salman Khan, where they quickly formed a deep bond that blossomed into love. They kept their relationship private until their civil ceremony in June 2024, which was followed by a grand celebration at Bastian, attended by several Bollywood celebrities.
