Shatrughan Sinha addresses Sonakshi Sinha’s wedding rumours.
Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal are rumoured to be getting married later this month.
Hours after Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal’s wedding invite leaked online, Shatrughan Sinha opened up about Sonakshi’s wedding day. The actor-politician clarified that he was neither confirming nor denying the news of her marriage. However, if and when it happens, he will be a happy father. He also said that regardless of who she chooses to marry, the family would be supportive of her decision.
“I am neither confirming nor denying her wedding news. Time will tell. She will always have my blessings,” Shatrughan told The Times of India. “Sonakshi is the apple of my eye. She is my only daughter and very close to me. I am a proud father because, over the years, she has also grown as an actor. From Lootere to Dahaad to now Heeramandi, she has proved to be a fantastic actor,” he added.
“If my daughter is getting married, I will give her my blessings and support her decision and choice. Sonakshi has the right to choose her companion, and I will be the happiest father on her wedding day. I will always wish her the best… ek hi toh beti hai meri,” Shatrughan said.
Previously, Shatrughan spoke with Times Now and confessed that he wasn’t aware about her wedding. “I am being asked by people close to me why I am not aware of this (the supposed wedding), and the media is aware of it. All I can say is, aaj kal ke bachche consent nahin lete maa-baap ke, sirf inform karte hain. We are waiting to be informed,” he said.
Earlier in the day, it was released that Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal are tying the knot on June 23. Their leaked wedding invite confirmed the wedding plan. As per the leaked invite, the party will take place at Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty’s restaurant Bastian in Mumbai. The dress code for the evening is formal and festive. The card also has “the rumours were true” written on it.
A recent report in Zoom suggested that Sonakshi and Zaheer will have a registered marriage, followed by a reception party on June 23. “I have received an invitation to celebrate with the couple on the evening of June 23,” Sonakshi’s friend told Zoom. “But there’s no mention of an actual wedding. From what I know, they have already gone through a registered marriage, or may do so on the morning of June 23. But there’s not going to be any elaborative wedding as such, just a party.”
