Salman Khan, Sonakshi Sinha, Iqbal Ratansi & Zaheer Iqbal
Zaheer Iqbal and Sonakshi Sinha's wedding is the hottest topic right now. Did you know how the duo met? They met during a Salman Khan party. But this is not the only connection Zaheer has with Salman; his father, Iqbal Ratansi, is a very close friend of Bollywood's bhaijaan. Their friendship dates back to the 1980s.
Once, Salman Khan publicly acknowledged Ratansi's unwavering support during his early years in the industry. Iqbal Ratansi is a prominent jeweller in Mumbai and had given financial help to Bollywood's biggest superstar, Salman Khan. It was in 2018 when Salman, in a heartfelt tweet, referred to Ratansi as his 'personal bank'. Salman humorously mentioned that he has a long-due loan which he hasn't repaid to Zaheer Iqbal's father.
"Iqbal Ratansi used to work like my personal bank during my teenage years. Even today, I have a loan of Rs 2011 from him. Thank God that to date he has not asked for interest on his loan," Salman had tweeted.
