Shatrughan Sinha Reveals Why Sonakshi Sinha’s Brothers Didn’t Attend Her Wedding

It has been seven months since Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal tied the knot. The couple had a quiet court marriage in June, attended by close friends and select family members. However, the decision to marry did not initially receive full approval from the Sinha family. Shatrughan Sinha and his son, Luv Sinha, had previously expressed their dissatisfaction in public statements, clearly indicating some tension.

Despite his reservations, Shatrughan Sinha, as a father, ultimately chose to support his daughter’s happiness and attended the wedding. However, his sons, Luv and Kush Sinha, decided to stay away from the ceremony.

This absence sparked speculation, with many wondering why Sonakshi’s brothers chose not to participate in such an important family event. Now, months after the wedding, Shatrughan Sinha has broken his silence and revealed the reasons behind their absence.

In a recent interview, Shatrughan Sinha was asked whether his sons’ absence from Sonakshi’s wedding had affected him. Initially, the veteran actor-politician declined to comment. However, he eventually opened up about the situation, explaining that he held no resentment towards his sons.

“I don’t complain. Their reaction is also natural. They are human too. Maybe they didn’t fully understand the situation at the time,” he remarked.

Shatrughan Sinha acknowledged that his sons might have felt a certain level of discomfort or shock regarding the marriage.

“It’s possible they couldn’t grasp the situation as maturely as others might have. I can understand why people are questioning this, and I know my sons might have been troubled by it,” he said. Reflecting further, he admitted that if he had been their age, he might have reacted differently as well.

Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal had been in a relationship for seven years before deciding to marry. Their intimate wedding ceremony was conducted in private, away from the public eye.

However, the couple’s interfaith marriage became a topic of discussion and controversy, with the couple facing backlash and online trolling. Some critics falsely accused Zaheer of engaging in “love jihad,” a term used by some to suggest religious manipulation in interfaith relationships. Sonakshi and Zaheer, however, chose to ignore the negativity and focused on their relationship.

Shatrughan Sinha has always been vocal about his unwavering support for his daughter. Despite his initial hesitation regarding the marriage, he attended the wedding, choosing to prioritize his daughter’s happiness over societal pressures. “A father can’t stay angry with his daughter for long. Ultimately, her happiness matters the most to me,” he said.

While Sonakshi and Zaheer have now settled into married life, the absence of her brothers at the wedding remains a topic of public curiosity. However, Shatrughan Sinha’s candid explanation highlights the complexities and emotional nuances that families often experience during major life decisions.

In the end, Shatrughan Sinha’s remarks serve as a reminder that familial relationships are layered and evolving. His acceptance of his sons’ reactions and his willingness to stand by his daughter reflect a balanced and compassionate approach to navigating family dynamics in the public eye.
