SO/ Maldives Brings Red-Carpet Glamour to the Festive Season with Bollywood Icons Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal

January 12, 2026

A Cinematic Festive Season: The Red-Carpet Arrival

SO/ Maldives elevated the 2025–2026 festive season to cinematic heights, hosting Bollywood icons Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal. Welcomed with a high-energy “island red-carpet” experience, the couple’s arrival perfectly encapsulated the resort’s identity: a bold, fashion-forward sanctuary where metropolitan glamour meets Maldivian soul.

For travel trade partners, this celebrity endorsement reinforces SO/ Maldives as the premier choice for the Indian luxury market and global travelers seeking a vibrant, lifestyle-led alternative to traditional island seclusion.


Red Carpet vs. Blue Lagoon: The Festive Program

The resort’s “Red Carpet” theme blended high-impact events with the raw beauty of the North Malé Atoll. During their stay, the Bollywood duo participated in experiences that highlighted the resort’s “Celebration Without Limits” philosophy.
