Speaking fondly of his on-screen wife, Saqib Saleem remarked, "Sonakshi is a very fierce and loyal friend. One thing that I really like about her is her punctuality. It's not just limited to her arrival on sets, but it extends to every aspect of her life. She's incredibly respectful towards each and every person she interacts with. These are the qualities that I appreciate the most about her." His words paint a picture of Sonakshi as not just a talented actress, but also as a considerate individual, emphasizing the importance of these traits in the demanding world of filmmaking.

Saqib is also a close friend of Sonakshi and her husband Zaheer Iqbal. Speaking about their recently concluded wedding, he told ANI, "I feel like she was one of the happiest brides I've come across in my life. And just to be part of their most important day because both of them are very dear friends of mine. And just to be part of their celebration and how there was so much warmth and love for them. That was enough. It was a very lovely, very simple wedding."

‘Kakuda' tells the story of a supernatural creature that terrorizes a village every Tuesday evening at 7:15PM.
