Rumours about Sonakshi Sinha’s pregnancy have been making the rounds online, but her husband Zaheer Iqbal recently put a humorous spin on the speculation — and won hearts in the process. The couple attended producer Ramesh Taurani’s star-studded Diwali party in Mumbai, where Zaheer’s playful gesture quickly went viral.
As the couple posed for photographers on the red carpet, Zaheer jokingly touched Sonakshi’s stomach, mimicking the typical “baby bump” pose often seen in celebrity pregnancy announcements. Caught off guard for a moment, Sonakshi quickly caught the joke and burst into laughter, clearly entertained by her husband’s cheeky take on the rumours. The lighthearted moment was captured on camera, with fans praising their chemistry and Zaheer’s sense of humour. One fan commented, “This guy is total husband material… and she is loving it!”
Speculation about Sonakshi’s pregnancy first surfaced earlier this month after she was seen wearing a red floral Anarkali at a party hosted by designer Vikram Phadnis. Fans pointed out that she appeared to be covering her belly with her dupatta, leading to online buzz. However, Zaheer’s Diwali prank appears to have ended the chatter with a laugh.
Sonakshi and Zaheer began dating in 2017 and co-starred in the 2022 film Double XL. They tied the knot in a civil ceremony under the Special Marriage Act in 2024 and have been spotted at several events since, often seen sharing affectionate and candid moments.
On the work front, Sonakshi recently appeared in Nikita Roy, a mystery-horror film directed by her brother Kussh S Sinha, co-starring Paresh Rawal and Arjun Rampal. She is now set to make her Telugu debut with Jatadhara, releasing on November 7, 2025. Zaheer was last seen in the action film Ruslaan.
