After being together for over seven years, Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal got married in June. One interesting thing about the wedding was that Sonakshi’s brothers, Luv and Kussh, didn’t attend. Her dad, Shatrughan Sinha, talked about this in an interview.
When asked if he supported his daughter’s choice to marry someone from a different faith, he said, “Of course, I support my daughter. It’s her life and her wedding. If she loves him and they are sure about each other, who are we to stop it? As a parent, it’s my job to be there for her. We always talk about empowering women, so it’s okay for her to choose her own partner. She didn’t do anything wrong; she’s a grown woman.”
He didn’t explain why her brothers missed the wedding, but he understood their feelings. He mentioned, “I won’t complain. They are just human. Maybe they aren’t mature enough yet. I understand their confusion. In their position, I might have felt the same way. But that’s where age and experience matter. My reaction wasn’t as strong as my sons’.”
Shatrughan shared that he enjoyed the wedding celebrations and loved meeting the guests.
Sonakshi and Zaheer dated for a few years before having a small wedding on the same day they fell in love. They later celebrated with close family and friends. They shared photos from their wedding, saying, “Seven years ago (June 23, 2017), we saw love in each other’s eyes and decided to keep it. That love has helped us through everything to get to today, where we are now married with the blessings of our families.”
Later on, Sonakshi explained why they kept their relationship private. “It’s about ‘nazar’ (evil eye). It’s better to keep some things personal. When you are already in the spotlight, it’s nice to keep something special just for yourself. When we met and fell in love, I realized early on that this was forever.”
