‘Ho Gaya, Bas!’ Sonakshi Sinha stops paparazzi Mid-Filming during family dinner outing; Zaheer Iqbal steps In
A viral video shows Sonakshi Sinha politely asking photographers to stop filming as she stepped out with husband Zaheer Iqbal and father Shatrughan Sinha.
Mumbai: Actress Sonakshi Sinha is once again making headlines, but this time it’s not for a film release it’s for a candid moment with the paparazzi that has gone viral online.
The Dabangg actress was recently spotted during a family dinner outing with her husband Zaheer Iqbal and veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha. As the trio stepped out of a restaurant in Mumbai, a large crowd of photographers had already gathered outside to capture their arrival and exit.
A video from the outing, now circulating widely on social media, shows Sonakshi initially acknowledging the paparazzi with her usual warmth. Known for being cordial during public appearances, the actress greeted the photographers and allowed them to click pictures.
However, as the cameras continued rolling for longer than expected, Sonakshi appeared ready to wrap up the interaction.
With folded hands, she politely requested the photographers, saying, “Bas, guys. Thank you. Good night!”
But despite her clear request, the filming continued.
Moments later, Zaheer Iqbal also stepped in and urged the paparazzi to stop recording. Sonakshi then repeated her request in a firmer tone, saying, “Guys… Ho gaya. Ho gaya. Bas. Thank you.”
Soon after, the family made their way to their vehicle and left the venue.

The incident has sparked mixed reactions online, with many fans praising Sonakshi for handling the situation calmly and respectfully, while others debated the growing culture of constant celebrity surveillance.
Although Sonakshi is no stranger to the paparazzi and is often seen smiling and posing for cameras, this particular outing appeared to be a more personal family moment, which the actress likely wanted to keep brief.

Sonakshi and Zaheer Iqbal tied the knot on June 23, 2024, in an intimate civil ceremony held under the Special Marriage Act at her Mumbai residence. The wedding was attended by close friends and family, followed by a star-studded reception from the Hindi film industry.
Before marriage, the couple had shared screen space in the 2022 comedy-drama Double XL, alongside actress Huma Qureshi.
On the professional front, Sonakshi has received strong appreciation for her recent performances in streaming hits like Dahaad and Heeramandi, both of which showcased a more layered and mature side of her acting.
While the actress continues to balance work and married life, her latest viral moment serves as a reminder that even celebrities sometimes need their private space.
