In an earlier chat with Times Now, Shatrughan had said that kids don’t seek their parents’ permission to get married but only inform them. “All I can say is, aaj kal ke bachche consent nahin lete maa-baap ke, sirf inform karte hain (Nowadays, children don’t seek permission; they simply inform their parents). We are waiting to be informed,” he said. Sonakshi’s brother Luv Sinha had also claimed that he didn’t know anything about the wedding. Talking to ETimes, he said that he had “no involvement in the matter.”
Earlier, a friend of the couple told indianexpress.com, “From what I know, they may have already had a registered wedding, or may do so on the morning of June 23. But there’s not going to be any elaborative wedding as such, just a party.”
