Bollywood actor Sonakshi Sinha has once again dismissed persistent pregnancy rumours surrounding her marriage to actor Zaheer Iqbal, stating that she will be the first person to announce any such news when the time comes. The couple, who tied the knot in a civil ceremony on June 23, 2024, after seven years of dating, have been at the center of speculation ever since, with the buzz intensifying during the recent Diwali party season.
In a candid interview with News18 Showsha, Sonakshi laughed off the constant scrutiny, saying, “The media are the only ones continually taking jabs at me. They keep thinking I’m pregnant! If and when I am, I’ll be the first to tell the world, “Guys, abb main pregnant hoon, chup ho jaao.” The actor also addressed outdated notions that marriage or motherhood should pause a woman’s career, crediting earlier generations of female stars for breaking barriers. “They walked so that we could run,” she said, adding that the thought of stopping work after marriage “wouldn’t even cross my mind.”
The rumours gained fresh momentum after a playful moment at a Diwali event when Zaheer jokingly placed his hand on Sonakshi’s stomach while posing for photographs, prompting her to swat it away with a laugh. Zaheer quickly clarified to the paparazzi, “Mazaak kar rahe hain. We are just joking.” Similar speculation had surfaced shortly after their wedding in June, which Sonakshi had then brushed aside by saying people will always talk regardless of the truth.

Both have maintained that they will share major personal milestones directly with fans when ready, urging the public to respect their privacy in the meantime.
