Shatrughan Sinha’s presence at the party put to rest rumours that he disapproved of the union and would not attend the wedding. Speculation had arisen after Shatrughan mentioned to Times Now that he was “waiting to be informed” about his daughter’s wedding. He said, “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).” Similarly, when Sonakshi’s brother Luv Sinha was asked about the actor’s wedding speculation, he refused to respond to ETimes and said, “I’ve no involvement in the matter.”
However, Shatrughan later dismissed such rumours and confirmed he would be present at the wedding and assured that he was with Sonakshi in her decision. “I will be there at the wedding, certainly. Why shouldn’t I and why won’t I? Her happiness is my happiness and vice versa. She has every right to choose her partner and the other details of her wedding,” he told Zoom.
Reports suggest that Sonakshi and Zaheer first met at a party, which was hosted by Salman Khan. They later started dating, but kept their relationship under wraps. They made their relationship official in 2023 after they appeared together at Aayush Sharma and Arpita Khan’s Eid celebration.
