Shafaq Naaz and Zeeshan Pewekar Love Story: A WhatsApp Group Brought Them Together, Know How Their Relationship Turned Into Marriage

Relationship Desk, Delhi Magazine: Television actress Shafaq Naaz is enjoying a beautiful phase of her personal life with husband Zeeshan Pewekar. While the actress surprised fans by revealing her marriage in June 2026, not many people know that her love story began in a rather unexpected way. A simple WhatsApp group became the starting point of their relationship, which eventually led to marriage.

Shafaq, best known for playing Kunti in the popular television show Mahabharat, married businessman Zeeshan Pewekar on October 31, 2024. The couple kept their wedding away from the public spotlight for nearly two years before the actress introduced her husband to fans through social media.

How Did Shafaq Naaz and Zeeshan Pewekar Meet?

In an interview with The Times of India, Shafaq revealed that their love story began in January 2020. Interestingly, her Mahabharat co-star Suhani Dhanki and Suhani’s husband played an important role in bringing them together.

They created a WhatsApp group named ‘Hello’ and added both Shafaq and Zeeshan to it. After introducing them, the couple’s friends left the group, giving the two a chance to start talking.

Their conversations gradually developed into a special connection. The couple finally met in March 2020 when Zeeshan visited India.

Shafaq revealed that she had a strong feeling from their very first conversation that Zeeshan was the one for her. She also shared that their relationship developed naturally and nothing ever felt forced between them.

Who Is Shafaq Naaz’s Husband Zeeshan Pewekar?

Unlike Shafaq, who belongs to the television industry, Zeeshan Pewekar is a businessman and stays away from the entertainment spotlight. He was born in Mumbai and is currently based in Muscat.

The couple spent several years in a long-distance relationship because of their professional commitments and different locations. During an earlier interview in 2023, Shafaq had also spoken about being in a relationship with Zeeshan for around four years.

Shafaq Naaz and Zeeshan’s Wedding Was an Intimate Affair

Shafaq and Zeeshan tied the knot on October 31, 2024, in a simple ceremony at the actress’s home. The actress revealed that she was recovering from a knee injury at the time and had undergone two surgeries within three to four months.

She even used an elbow crutch at her wedding. Despite the difficult phase, the couple chose to keep their wedding simple and celebrate the occasion with their loved ones.

Shafaq later explained that she had wanted to share a picture on their first wedding anniversary, but people misunderstood it as an engagement announcement. She clarified that they had never got engaged and had directly tied the knot.

A New Chapter in Shafaq Naaz’s Life

On June 21, 2026, Shafaq finally introduced Zeeshan as her husband through a series of romantic pictures on Instagram. Sharing the photographs, she wrote, “Married my favorite person on ’31-10-2024′ and spent the last one and a half years being quietly the happiest I’ve ever been. Meet My Husband ‘ZEESHAN’.”

The pictures offered fans a glimpse into their happy married life, including moments from Muscat and their time together.

In another interview, Shafaq shared that after spending years in a long-distance relationship, being together with her husband was especially meaningful. She also spoke about enjoying married life and spending quality time with him.

From a WhatsApp group in 2020 to a beautiful wedding in 2024, Shafaq Naaz and Zeeshan Pewekar’s journey is a lovely reminder of how an unexpected introduction can turn into a lifelong relationship.

Love stories in the public eye often have their own unique beginnings. A similar heartwarming story is that of Indian cricketer Shivam Dube and his wife Anjum Khan, who celebrated their relationship with a wedding ceremony following both Hindu and Muslim traditions. Just like Shafaq Naaz and Zeeshan Pewekar, their journey also shows how love brings two people together despite coming from different backgrounds.
