The Dabangg diva said, “When we started dating, I was the first one who told him I love you. I was the first one who told him I’m going to marry only you whether you like it or not.”
According to Sinha, Zaheer got onboard the train a little later. She said as they got to know each other over time and spent more time with each other and then together, their relationship grew deeper and reached the point when Iqbal also arrived at the agreement to get married.
Iqbal, who appeared alongside Sonakshi Sinha during the interview, defended his delay in saying yes to the wedding and said, “I was enjoying this relationship so much.
