Veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha has dismissed reports claiming he was upset with his daughter Sonakshi Sinha for not informing him about her wedding plans. Sonakshi is set to marry her longtime boyfriend, Zaheer Iqbal, on June 23 after seven years of dating. Rumours had circulated that her family was unhappy about the upcoming nuptials.
Shatrughan has now addressed these rumours, denouncing the spread of ‘fake news’ about his daughter's wedding. ‘Tell me, whose life is it anyway? It’s just the life of my only daughter Sonakshi, whom I’m very proud of and immensely fond of,’ Shatrughan told Times Now/Zoom.
‘She calls me the pillar of her strength. I will be there at the wedding, certainly. Why shouldn’t I and why won’t I?,’ he added.
Shatrughan emphasised that Sonakshi has ‘every right to choose her partner’ and that he supports her decision. Speaking about Zaheer, Shatrughan added, ‘Sonakshi and Zaheer have to live their life together. They look very nice together.’
He said, ‘Those who are coming out with fake news are just sounding very frustrated with this joyous occasion as they are spreading nothing but lies. I’d like to caution them with my signature dialogue: Khamosh, it’s none of your business.’
Earlier, Luv Sinha responded to reports about his sister Sonakshi Sinha’s wedding to Zaheer Iqbal in a conversation with ETimes. He remained tight-lipped, saying, ‘I’m out of Mumbai at the moment, and regarding the news published, I have no comment or involvement in the matter.’
Previously, Shatrughan Sinha had told Times Now/Zoom that he was unaware of his daughter Sonakshi’s wedding plans. He remarked, ‘I am being asked by people close to me why I am not aware of this supposed wedding while the media is. All I can say is, kids these days don’t seek their parents’ consent, they just inform us. We are waiting to be informed.’
