Shatrughan Sinha breaks silence on Sonakshi Sinha's wedding with Zaheer Iqbal: 'Whenever my daughter gets married...'

While the reports of Sonakshi Sinha getting married to boyfriend Zaheer Iqbal have been making the news on social media, her father and actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha has finally reacted to this and said that he doesn’t have any idea about the wedding.

“I am in Delhi right now. After the election results, I flew down here. I haven’t spoken to anyone about my daughter’s plans. So your question is, is she getting married? The answer is that she hasn’t told me anything about it,” said Shatrughan Sinha while talking to Zoom.

He continued, “Main bhi utna hi jaanta ho jitna main media maine padha hai (I know as much about this as what the media has told me). If and when she takes me into confidence, my wife and I will give the couple my blessings. We wish her happiness always. We trust her judgement completely. She would never make an extra-constituional or illegal decision. As a consenting adult, she has the right to make her own decisions.”

“Having said that, I would like to say that whenever my daughter gets married, I would like to be dancing right in front of the baaraat. I am being asked by people close to me why I am not aware of this and the media is aware of it. All I can say is, aaj kal ke bacche consent nahin lete maap-baap ke, sirf inform karte hain (these days, children don’t seek permission from parents, they just inform). We are waiting to be informed,” the legendary actor concluded.

For the unversed, Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal featured together in _Double XL_ , which released in 2022. The film also starred Huma Qureshi and Mahat Raghavendra in prominent roles.
