Sonakshi Sinha recently joined Soha Ali Khan on latter’s podcast. When the topic of the seven-year itch came up, Sonakshi shared, “Like I said, it’s just so unique to each person and each relationship. I feel I had a 3 year itch. I had a phase just when we were 3 years into the relationship where we just wanted to pull each other’s hair out. And no matter what we did, we just couldn’t kind of understand the other person’s perspective. But we knew in our hearts that we have to make it work somehow and we did actually do couples therapy. It was Zaheer who suggested it. He said, ‘I want this relationship to work no matter what. So I’ve heard about this, let’s just give it a shot.’”

Well, kudos to the happy couple. We wish them a forever of happiness and togetherness!
