Reports claiming that Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal are tying the knot on June 23 have been making headlines for over the past several days. While the couple remains silent, wedding bells are ringing loud with confirmations from family and friends like Poonam Dhillon, Yo Yo Honey Singh, and Daisy Shah. Fans are thrilled to see Sonakshi as a bride, but the actor previously stated her father wouldn’t want her to marry.

In a 2021 interview with Bollywood Bubble, Sonakshi revealed her family’s perspective on marriage. Her father, Shatrughan Sinha, apparently prefers her to stay unmarried. Sonakshi mentioned her mom occasionally suggests marriage, but quickly backs down after a look from her daughter. “If it is up to him (Shatrughan Sinha) then he would never want me to get married. Mom sometimes drops that little bomb ki abhi toh time hogaya (for her marriage) kar lena chahiye, and I just give her one look and then she’s like acha thik hai thik hai (laughs),” she said.
