Sonakshi Sinha, Zaheer Iqbal reveal 'first reaction' of Shatrughan Sinha on their marriage plan

Right from the moment it was confirmed that Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal were planning to get married, there have been rumours about Shatrughan Sinha and the family being unhappy about the whole thing. Even after the wedding, many web users commented that the Shotgun of Bollywood did not seem happy although both he and his wife Poonam Singh were present for all the rituals and reception.

Now during an interview, the newly married couple of Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal revealed the first reaction of Shatrughan Sinha when they announced their marriage plans to him.

Revealing his experience and nervousness that he felt while talking to the Kala Patthar actor for the first time, Zaheer 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 shared, “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 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)'.

Sona added, “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.”

The actress said it was much easier telling her father about Zaheer than she had thought and that he was really very supportive.
