Overview

• After paparazzi photos of a noticeable weight change revived pregnancy speculation, Sonakshi Sinha posted a screenshot of a private WhatsApp chat with husband Zaheer Iqbal on July 4.
• In the late-night exchange, Zaheer asks if she’s hungry; Sonakshi replies “Not at all. Stop feeding me,” and she quips “The reason why everyone thinks I’m preggos. Stop it @iamzahero.”
• The Instagram post served as a clear rebuttal of unsubstantiated rumors by confirming she is not expecting a child.
• Sonakshi has adopted a consistent approach of using humor and selective social media disclosures, alongside interviews such as her recent NDTV appearance, to shut down intrusive gossip.
• Since their civil marriage under India’s Special Marriage Act in June 2024, the couple has managed sustained public curiosity about their interfaith partnership through candid fan engagement.
