Sonakshi revealed that her relationship with Zaheer had its highs and lows like any other, and recalled their “three-year itch”. She said, “Just when we were three years into the relationship, we had a phase where we just wanted to pull each other’s hair out. No matter what we did, we just couldn’t understand each other’s perspective.”
She added, “But we did know in our hearts that we had to make this work, and we did couples therapy, and it was Zaheer who suggested it. I was open to it, and after two sessions, we were back on track. It helped so much to understand what the other person thinks, and that what they say is not necessarily what they mean.”
