Rumours are swirling that Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha is set to tie the knot with her longtime boyfriend Zaheer Iqbal later this month. After her father Shatrughan Sinha and her brother Luv Sinha commented on the speculation, Sonakshi herself addressed the rumors. In an interview with iDiva, she remarked, "Firstly, it's nobody's business. Secondly, it is my choice, so I don't know why people are so concerned about it. People ask me about my marriage more than my parents, so I find that very funny. Now, I am just used to it. It doesn't bother me. People are curious; what can we do about it?`

Family Reactions to the Rumors

Luv Sinha, in an interview with Hindustan Times, chose not to comment directly, stating, "I won't be commenting. It's better if you reach out to Sonakshi or the other person. All I can say is I have nothing to say on this matter." Shatrughan Sinha, while speaking to Zoom, mentioned that he was unaware of any wedding plans. He stated, "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."

Shatrughan Sinha's Views on His Daughter's Decisions

Shatrughan Sinha 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 judgment completely. She would never make an extra-constitutional or illegal decision. As a consenting adult, she has the right to make her own decisions."

He also added, "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."
