In their heartfelt post, they emphasized the authenticity of their recommendations, stating that this was not a sponsored post. “This is not an ad, and no one asked us to post but I can’t help but share the awesomeness of @thefarmatsanbenito in the Philippines. In one week we were taught what wellness actually means, listen to our bodies and take care of our minds. Waking up in the midst of nature, eating right, sleeping on time, detox treatments and massages galore – feeling brand new,” the couple expressed.
The post was filled with gratitude towards their friends and the staff who made their stay special. “Thanks to our amazing friends @nirvanachaudhary, @_rahulchaudhary_ and @varun.chaudhary for making sure we have this life-changing experience and thanks to all the amazing people who made our stay so comfortable – Preet, Raoul, Dr. Jocelyn, Steffi, Cleo, the detox man Jun and our main two – EJ and Nikka. We can’t wait to see you all again,” they added.

Zaheer and Sonakshi’s wedding had elements of both simplicity and grandeur. The civil ceremony was an intimate affair, followed by a lavish reception that saw many stars from the Bollywood fraternity in attendance. Reflecting on their special day, Sonakshi explained the depth of her feelings for her husband. “I feel that when two people are in love, nothing else matters. And I hope people have the strength to follow their heart which is what I did and I’m happy,” she told PTI. She also shared her hope that everyone can live in harmony and that people should appreciate and respect each other wherever they come from.
When asked about the most special moments from her wedding, Sonakshi painted a vivid picture. “Just before we left for the reception and the house started to get empty as everyone was proceeding towards the venue, it was just the two of us and we took a moment. We went up to the house that we were going to make (a home) with each other and paused to take it all in. We looked out at the city and just held each other,” she recalled.
The social media post concluded by showcasing several snapshots from their retreat, capturing the essence of their serene experience. From lush greenery to peaceful resort settings, each image radiated the tranquility and joy that Sonakshi and Zaheer experienced during their stay.
As fans and well-wishers showered the couple with love and congratulations on completing their first month of marriage, the retreat served as not just a celebration but also a necessary time of renewal and reflection for the duo. The couple’s candid shares have inspired many to prioritize wellness, especially during busy times, and illustrated that sometimes the best way to celebrate love is to take care of oneself and each other.
In a world where both stars are constantly in the limelight and working on multiple projects, their retreat to the Philippines becomes a poignant reminder of the importance of personal well-being. Sonakshi and Zaheer’s time at The Farm at San Benito highlights how essential it is to sometimes step back, relax, and rejuvenate. Their journey offers a beautiful narrative of love, wellness, and the joy of taking time for self-care amidst the rigors of life.
