In a recent candid conversation on a podcast, Sonakshi Sinha opened up about a particularly challenging period in her marriage, which she described as the “three-year itch.” She confessed, “We literally wanted to pull each other’s hair out,” revealing that arguments had become frequent and communication was strained.

Recognising the need for help, Zaheer suggested couples therapy, and although Sonakshi initially had reservations, she agreed to give it a chance.

After just two sessions, both noticed significant improvements. Sonakshi shared that the therapy helped them better understand each other, realise that words weren’t always meant the way they were taken, and handle triggering situations calmly.

Small misunderstandings that once escalated began to resolve with patience and clarity.

Sonakshi emphasised that respect, empathy, and genuine communication became essential in their relationship.

She praised Zaheer for his emotional maturity, sensitivity to feelings, and unwavering respect, qualities that initially drew her to him years ago.

The couple, who dated for seven years before marrying in June 2024, have been in the public eye throughout. Their willingness to openly discuss challenges, rather than conceal them, has been appreciated by fans and industry insiders alike.

Their transparency serves as a refreshing reminder that relationships, even among celebrities, require effort, understanding, and sometimes professional intervention.

By sharing their story, Sonakshi and Zaheer normalise couples therapy and underline the importance of empathy, communication, and commitment in sustaining a healthy relationship.
