Zaheer Iqbal Hilariously Shuts Down Sonakshi Sinha’s Pregnancy Rumours

Zaheer Iqbal playfully put his hand on Sonakshi’s abdomen at a Mumbai Diwali bash, confirming the buzz was all “Mazak” (a joke) while the couple burst into laughter.

October 16, 2025: Bollywood couple Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal turned heads at Ramesh Taurani’s star-studded Diwali party on Wednesday, not just for their appearance, but for their hilarious response to ongoing pregnancy rumours.

Videos from the event have gone viral, capturing Zaheer humorously addressing the persistent speculation that began after Sonakshi’s appearance in a red traditional outfit on October 14.

As the couple posed for the paparazzi, Zaheer was seen following Sonakshi and jokingly cautioned her, “Sambhaal ke” (Be careful). The comment momentarily shocked Sonakshi, but she quickly burst into laughter and playfully nudged him.

The fun escalated as Zaheer humorously placed his hand on the actress’s abdomen while they posed, seemingly pretending to confirm the baby bump buzz. Sonakshi immediately reacted by shouting his name loudly, resulting in another round of shared laughter. As they exited, Zaheer made sure to clarify to the photographers, “Mazak kar rahe hain” (We are just joking).

The lighthearted public display comes amid renewed social media chatter regarding Sonakshi’s alleged pregnancy glow and users pointing out that she appeared to try and hide her midriff in recent videos.

This isn’t the first time the actress has addressed the constant rumors. In July, Sonakshi shared a screenshot of a WhatsApp chat with Zaheer where she humorously blamed her husband for the persistent speculation, writing, “The reason why everyone thinks I’m preggos (pregnant). Stop it @iamzahero,” after he repeatedly asked if she was hungry.

Sonakshi and Zaheer tied the knot in a civil court ceremony on June 23, 2024, followed by a grand reception attended by numerous Bollywood celebrities. The pair continues to engage their fans by sharing glimpses of their playful relationship on social media.
