Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha and her husband Zaheer Iqbal recently visited the iconic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, sharing glimpses of their visit on social media. The couple was featured in a new advertisement promoting tourism in Abu Dhabi, and Sonakshi posted a video of them walking through the mosque on Instagram.

For the visit, Sonakshi wore a green and white printed short kurta paired with pyjama, and covered her head with a matching green dupatta as a mark of respect for the mosque’s traditions. Zaheer Iqbal wore a black shirt with green trousers. Sonakshi captioned her post, “Found a little sukoon (peace), right here in Abu Dhabi!  @visitabudhabi #InAbuDhabi #ad.”

The post quickly drew reactions from fans, with many praising the couple’s attire and respectful gesture. One fan commented, “In a temple or a mosque, covering the head is a spiritual thing, whether Hindu or Muslim.” Another noted, “Your dress totally matches the aesthetic,” while several others simply wrote, “Beautiful.”

This visit comes shortly after actress Deepika Padukone faced criticism for wearing a hijab during a tourism promotion. Fans appreciated Sonakshi’s respectful approach at the mosque, sparking positive conversations online.
