Actress Sonakshi Sinha has once again been at the center of controversy, this time for a visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi with her husband, actor Zaheer Iqbal, during Karva Chauth. While many fans admired the peaceful moments shared by the couple, some trolls targeted Sonakshi for wearing slippers inside the mosque, accusing her of disrespecting the sacred space. But true to her composed nature, the actress responded in a way that left the critics speechless.

Sonakshi Sinha With Zaheer Iqbal Visited Abu Dhabi
Sonakshi posted a video and photos on Instagram from her visit to the mosque, where she can be seen wearing a headscarf and slippers. The caption read, “Found a little peace here in Abu Dhabi!” While her post received plenty of love and positive comments from fans, it also attracted harsh criticism from some users. One such troll wrote, “It’s a grave sin to enter a mosque with shoes.”

In her typical style, Sonakshi responded succinctly, saying, “Move on.” However, she didn’t stop there. In a follow-up comment, she clarified, “That’s why I didn’t enter with shoes. Look carefully, we’re outside the mosque. Before going in, he showed us where to keep our shoes and took them off. We know this much. Now let’s move ahead.” With this response, Sonakshi effectively silenced the critic, showing that she was aware of the proper customs and practices while still maintaining a calm and respectful tone.

Despite the criticism, Sonakshi remained unfazed by the advice of some social media users who suggested she should cover her head more completely. She continued to focus on the positivity around her, choosing not to engage with negativity. Sonakshi and Zaheer Iqbal’s relationship has been one that defies boundaries, including religious ones. The couple tied the knot in a private court ceremony at home in June 2024, with religion never being a barrier for them. In an interview, Sonakshi shared that religion was never an issue between her and Zaheer. Her in-laws, she said, have always been respectful of her beliefs, and they celebrate each other’s festivals with equal enthusiasm.
