The Dabangg diva said, “When we started dating, I was the first one who told him I love you. I was the first one who told him I’m going to marry only you whether you like it or not.”

According to Sinha, Zaheer got onboard the train a little later. She said as they got to know each other over time and spent more time with each other and then together, their relationship grew deeper and reached the point when Iqbal also arrived at the agreement to get married.

Iqbal, who appeared alongside Sonakshi Sinha during the interview, defended his delay in saying yes to the wedding and said, “I was enjoying this relationship so much. When you grow up, a lot of people fill your head saying, shaadi ke baad sab badal jaata hai, so I was like badalne waala hai to isko aur thora enjoy kar lete hain.”

The Notebook actor further revealed a funny incident that happened at the couple’s wedding. Zaheer said that, while he was all prepared that the emotion would suddenly hit him after seeing Sonakshi walk up to him, that feeling actually lasted only three seconds. “When I was just about to cry, I was like, I am so happy right now and said, ‘Come fast ya, fataafat shaadi karte hai chalo.’”

Sonakshi further added to his words and said that because their courtship, friendship, and relationship were so beautiful beyond a point, it didn’t really matter when the wedding took place - “Kyunki aapko pata hai aap karne hi waale ho.”
