Calling the birthday boy ‘best friend’, Sonakshi shared pictures with him and wrote, “Happy birthday to who could possibly be the most annoying human being on this planet. Also, who could possibly be the most amazing human being on this planet. How is this possible??? How are you like this??? Thank you for being born. Ugh. Happy birthday. Bye. #bestbestfriend #whattaguy.”
As soon as she shared the post, fans rushed to the comment section and dropped emojis for the rumoured couple. Amid this, actor Kubbra Sait grabbed the attention when commented, “Ladka aur ladki kabhi dost nahi ho sakte (A boy and a girl can never be just friends) Happy happy Zah! @iamzahero.” Vijay Varma, Punit Malhotrra and others too wished the actor in the comments.
Later Zaheer replied to Sonakshi, “But she’s my best friend yaaaaaa,” and added, “Can officially call you my heroine also now.”
The dating rumours of Sonakshi and Zaheer are hitting headlines for quite some time now. Addressing the reports, Zaheer told ETimes, “Sonakshi and I laughed after reading the dating rumours. It was my first rumour so I didn’t know how to react on it. People have seen all of us. Sonakshi and I chill together and someone must have seen that and might have started the rumour. Well, I’m sure that’s how it started. On the day this happened, we messaged each other because we got a notification on Google Alerts. Do you know what the mess up was? I was dating someone no one knew. It became a bit awkward between us as Sonakshi knew who I was dating then!”
On the work front, Sonakshi and Zaheer will star together for the first time in the upcoming film ‘Double XL’. Helmed by Satramm Ramani and backed by Bhushan Kumar, Vipul D Shah, Rajesh Bahl, Ashwin Varde and Mudassar Aziz, the film is slated to release in 2022.
Sonakshi was last seen in ‘Bhuj: The Pride of India’. On the other hand, Zaheer made his Bollywood debut with ‘Notebook’ in 2019.
