When Sonakshi Sinha Revealed Shatrughan Sinha's Disapproval Of Her Marriage: 'If It Was Upto Him...'

Rumors have been swirling around about Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal’s possible wedding on June 23, with whispers reaching a fever pitch recently. Despite the hush-hush from the duo, the sound of wedding bells grows louder, buoyed by confirmations from close-knit circles including Poonam Dhillon, Yo Honey Singh, and Daisy Shah. Excitement among fans peaks as they envision Sonakshi taking on the role of a blushing bride, yet the actress has previously shared her father’s reservations about her tying the knot.

During a candid chat with Bollywood Bubble in 2021, Sonakshi shed light on her family’s views regarding her marital status.

Sonakshi amusingly recounted instances where her mother playfully nudges her towards marriage, only to retreat at the mere lift of her daughter’s eyebrow. “If it is up to him (Shatrughan Sinha) then he would never want me to get married.

Moreover, Sonakshi Sinha conveyed her gratitude towards her parents for their unwavering support, enabling her to wholeheartedly concentrate on her flourishing career devoid of any undue pressure. “I’m glad that they have given me that kind of independence where until I’m not ready, they will not really like sit on my head and be like ‘shaadi karlo beta,,” she appended.

Amid the whirlwind of speculation surrounding a possible wedding, Shatrughan Singh recently shared his sentiments with The Times of India, affirming his unwavering support for Sonakshi’s decisions. “I will always bless her,” he mentioned, skillfully sidestepping any direct confirmation or denial. He emphasized that if Sonakshi decides to take the leap, he will wholeheartedly back her choice and be there to support her. The seasoned actor went on to underline that ultimately, the decision lies in her hands.

Just the other day, an audio snippet of a wedding invitation surfaced, offering a sneak peek into Sonakshi Singh and Zaheer Iqbal’s upcoming nuptials. In the lighthearted message, Sonakshi extended warm greetings to their digitally-savvy circle of loved ones, reminiscing on their seven-year journey fueled by love, laughter, and shared adventures culminating in this significant juncture. “To all our hip, tech-savvy and jasoos friends and family who has managed to land on this page, hi,” Sonakshi cheerfully greeted. Adding to the jubilation, Zaheer chimed in, “For the last seven years that we have been together, all the joy, love, laughter and many, many adventures has led us to this very moment.”

“From rumoured boyfriend and girlfriend,” Sonakshi reflected, with Zaheer echoing her sentiment. “Finally” they exclaimed, beckoning all to join in their celebrations on the anticipated date of June 23rd.
