Sonakshi Reveals Relationship Almost Reached Breaking Point, But Therapy Revived the Bond

Bollywood duo Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal, admired for their on-screen charm and off-screen chemistry, have revealed that their seven-year journey to marriage was far from smooth — and almost ended midway.

In a recent interview, Sonakshi disclosed that by the third year of their relationship, tension had escalated to a point where misunderstandings outweighed communication. Arguments became frequent, conversations faded, and both felt disconnected despite wanting to hold on.

She described the phase as emotionally draining. “It reached a stage where we weren’t listening to each other anymore,” Sonakshi shared, noting that frustration and silence had started replacing affection.

The turning point came when Zaheer intervened — not to part ways, but to pause and reconsider. Instead of breakup discussions, he suggested they seek professional couple’s therapy, believing that the relationship deserved one last effort.

The decision, surprisingly, paid off quickly. Sonakshi revealed that after just two therapy sessions, perspective shifted, communication improved, and unresolved issues began to dissolve. What seemed like an inevitable split became a renewed commitment.

The actress credited the experience for reshaping not only their relationship but their approach to understanding each other. The couple eventually moved past the turbulence and went on to marry, with Sonakshi describing the therapy decision as “the best plot twist in our story.”
