Sonakshi Sinha recalled the time when she told about her marriage plans with Zaheer Iqbal to her father Shatrughan Sinha. The actress said that for the first time, she was very nervous but her father was very ‘cool’ about it. She also mentioned that Shatrughan Sinha is very supportive of her relationship. 

In an interview with ETimes, Sonakshi said “When I told my father about us, even I was very nervous. I didn’t know how he would react. I was trying to play it really cool. I asked him, “Aren’t you worried about my marriage because you haven’t asked me anything about it?” He said, “I have asked your mom ki ‘Apni beti se pucho (ask your daughter)’. Then, I told him there is a guy called Zaheer in my life, and he said, ‘Haan maine bhi padha tha (I also read about it)’. He said, ‘You guys are grown-ups; Miya biwi raazi toh kya karega qazi (If the groom and bride are ready, what will the judge do)’. I was like, ‘Oh, that was easy!’ I realised how chilled out and cool my dad is. He was really supportive about our relationship.” 

In the same interview, Sonakshi was joined by her husband Zaheer. He said “I went over to their house, and I was nervous because until that moment, I had never had a one-on-one chat with him (Shatrughan Sinha). The moment we started talking, we began discussing a million things and we became like friends. Of course, I also told him that I wanted to ask her (Sonakshi Sinha) to marry me. I know he’s got this image of being intimidating, but he’s so genuine, chilled out and he is the sweetest person I’ve met in a long time.”

Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal got married on June 23 in an intimate ceremony at the her Bandra residence.
