It was on December 18, when Sonakshi and Zaheer, who got married in a civil ceremony under the Special Marriage Act on June 23, shared that they were travelling to ‘the next continent’ to celebrate the holiday season. Zaheer, who made his debut in Hindi cinema with the 2019 movie “Notebook,” had shared a series of boomerang clips along with his wife Sonakshi.
