Actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha has responded to rumours that his daughter, Sonakshi Sinha, is set to marry her rumoured boyfriend, Zaheer Iqbal. Reports have suggested that the couple will tie the knot on June 23rd in a private ceremony in Mumbai. However, Shatrughan Sinha has denied having any knowledge of these plans.

In an interview with Times Now, Shatrughan Sinha said, "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. Main bhi utna hi janta ho jitna main media maine padha hai. If and when she takes me into confidence, my wife and I will give the couple my blessings. We wish her all happiness always.”

Shatrughan Sinha expressed his trust in Sonakshi's decision-making abilities, stating, “We trust our daughter’s judgement completely. She would never make an extra-constitutional 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.”

The veteran actor also mentioned that he has been receiving numerous calls regarding the rumoured 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 concluded.

A report from Hindustan Times suggests that the couple will host a two-day wedding ceremony. An insider revealed, “The wedding is going to be an intimate affair, with only the couple’s families and close friends in attendance. Sonakshi doesn’t want to give out many details of her wedding before it happens and wants to keep it just in her close circle. Many of her actor friends will also be marking their presence to be a part of the most special day for the couple.”

As of now, neither Sonakshi Sinha nor Zaheer Iqbal has confirmed the wedding rumours. Fans are eagerly awaiting an official statement from the couple regarding their wedding plans.
