Sonakshi Sinha has found that perfect balance between her professional and personal lives. As the actor nears a year of being married to Zaheer Iqbal, she says that having a partner from the same profession definitely makes life easier.

“Of course, we talk about our work at home with each other. Our work is a big part of our lives. I love getting to know his insight on things. We share whatever is happening in our professional lives, like my scripts. He’s the first person I want to share everything with anyway. If there’s even a work meeting, I tell him. It gives me perspective,” says the 37-year-old, who is currently working on her next film, Jatadhara.

It’s said that falling in love is easy — it’s staying in love that requires hard work. Ask Sonakshi if she feels this holds any truth, and she replies, “When we were dating, we used to become best friends and bi**h about each other, to each other! Honestly, it’s been as easy as falling in love. With the right person, there’s great understanding about what relationships involve. We don’t get rattled by the hard times and don’t avoid uncomfortable conversations.”

And how do they approach posting about their lives on social media? “Everyone is sharing what they want to portray their lives as. We are happy to share our happiness with others. The beauty of it is that you post what you want to, not each and every detail of your life,” she ends.
