Amidst growing speculation, both her father, Shatrughan Sinha, and her brother, Luv Sinha, have shared their reactions. Heeramandi actor herself addressed the rumours in a conversation with iDiva, stating, "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, which I find very funny. Now, I am just used to it. It doesn't bother me. People are curious; what can we do about it?”

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Luv Sinha commented, "I won't be commenting. It's better if you reach out to Sonakshi or the other person. All I can say is that I have nothing to say on this matter." However, her father, veteran actor and politician Shatrughan Sinha, has stated that he is still "waiting to be informed" about these plans.

Shatrughan Sinha, who has been preoccupied with the general elections until recently, shared his thoughts with Times Now. Currently in Delhi, he revealed that he hasn't discussed his daughter's wedding plans with anyone. "Main bhi utna hi jaanta hoon jitna media mein maine padha hai (I only know what I’ve read in the news)," he said.

What Did Shatrughan Sinha Say About Sonakshi Sinha's Wedding Rumours?

Despite the surprise, Sinha expressed his unconditional support and happiness for his daughter. He emphasised that once Sonakshi shares her plans with him and his wife, Poonam, they will fully support and bless the couple. "We wish her all happiness always," he stated.

Sinha also highlighted his complete trust in his daughter's judgement. He is confident that Sonakshi would never make an "extra-constitutional or illegal decision." He believes that, as an adult, Sonakshi has the right to make her own choices. He added that whenever the wedding happens, he will be "dancing right in front of the baaraat (wedding procession)."

However, Shatrughan expressed some frustration about being out of the loop regarding this significant life event. He mentioned that people close to him have been questioning why he isn't aware of his daughter's wedding plans, while the media seems to have more information. "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.

Couple to have registered marriage on June 23, followed by party: Report

According to the reports circulating online, Sonakshi and Zaheer, who have been in a relationship for several years, are planning to tie the knot on June 23 in Mumbai. The couple has kept their relationship relatively private, making the news of their impending wedding a surprise to many, including Shatrughan Sinha and Luv Sinha.

A friend of Sonakshi Sinha spoke to Zoom about the actor’s rumoured wedding, revealing, "I have received an invitation to celebrate with the couple on the evening of June 23. But there’s no mention of an actual wedding. From what I know, they have already gone through a registered marriage, 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."

Sonakshi Sinha, known for her roles in popular Bollywood films, and Zaheer Iqbal, who made his debut in the film industry with Notebook, have often been spotted together, sparking dating rumours. Despite their public appearances, neither Sonakshi nor Zaheer have officially confirmed their relationship status until now.
