When the long-term relationship between Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal took a turn for the worse, Sonakshi remembers going to couples therapy together. Sonakshi's admission about going to couples therapy has received a wide-ranging reaction because many Bollywood actors do not openly discuss emotional breakdowns, relationship issues or the reality of what happens behind the camera in Hollywood. The actress's revelation has opened a new perspective on the modern love of Bollywood.
Three years into their relationship, when communication had ceased, Sonakshi Sinha and her partner Zaheer Iqbal sought couples therapy to help them through their difficulties. According to Sonakshi, there was such a lack of communication between the two of them that they were at the point of wanting to "rip out each other's hair." Sonakshi's willingness to talk about the difficulty of their relationship has highlighted the importance of dealing with emotional issues in a healthy manner, regardless of one's celebrity status.
The actress recently opened up on a podcast about a relationship issue that had been getting the better of her & Zaheer - deep down they both felt like they just didn't get each other - they were constantly frustrated & stuck in these same old arguments that seemed to repeat themselves. She revealed that Zaheer was the one who brought up the idea of couples therapy - at first, she was a bit hesitant, but eventually agreed to give it a go & what's more is that just two sessions really started to turn things around for them - they were able to start actually listening to each other's emotional cues and realign their relationship.
The timing of this revelation is also pretty interesting, given that Sonakshi & Zaheer have been in the public eye lately over their interfaith marriage, which seems to have sparked a lot of unnecessary gossip. The fact that she's willing to shed light on the real side of things in her relationship is pretty refreshing when you consider the heavily curated perfection that we normally see from Bollywood couples.
