Sonakshi Sinha has recently faced pregnancy rumours just a few months after she married Zaheer Iqbal. The actress has previously debunked the rumours with a witty social media post.
However, Sonakshi has now officially responded to the pregnancy rumours.
In a recent interview with News18 Showsha, the actor said, “I didn’t take any jab. The media only keep taking jabs at me. They keep thinking that I’m pregnant! When I’m pregnant, I’ll be the first one to tell the world that guys, abb main pregnant hoon, chup ho jaao (laughs)."
However, Sonakshi is pleased that she is still working with the same zeal as before, despite Bollywood's tendency to marginalise married female actors.
Sonakshi explained, “They [women actors of the generation before hers] walked so that we could run. Today, I can’t even imagine that I’m married and so, I won’t be getting to do any work. That thought also won’t come to me. I can’t think in that direction at all. Marriage is a part of life – as it should be.”
She continued, “Marriage doesn’t bring a halt to any other profession either. Today, if a female journalist is getting married, they won’t suddenly stop working. There isn’t going to be a pause in their work life. Hats off to women actors before us who have paved the path for us."
“This obsession with youth is there till some extent. But I think most people have now moved beyond it. They’re willing to look past it," she stated.
For the unversed, Sonakshi and Zaheer dated for roughly seven years before getting married in June 2024.
