Sonakshi Sinha

Luv, who was last seen in the Sunny Deol film 'Gadar 2', evidently took to social media to share his displeasure over Sonakshi's marriage to Zaheer Iqbal. He posted a news article, with the comments: "Why I chose not to attend. Running an online campaign against me on a false premise won't change the fact that for me, my family will always come first."

On his X account (formerly Twitter), Shatrughan Sinha expressed gratitude for the blessings and warm messages received for Sonakshi and Zaheer’s wedding. He referred to them as a 'made for each other couple' and extended special thanks to notable figures like Arun Shourie, Yashwant Sinha, and Magsaysay Award winner Ravish Kumar for their affectionate wishes. His heartfelt message read,  “Thanking everyone for their blessings love & warm congratulatory messages. But most touched to have received extremely heartwarming affectionate wishes from most learned, intellectual par excellence the great #ArunShourie elder brother, statesman #YashwantSinha & of course the most deserving, Magsaysay Award winner #RavishKumar for the 'made for each other' couple #SonakshiSinha & #ZaheerIqbal. #SinhaParivar”

Their marriage was registered on June 23 with a civil ceremony at Sonakshi's new home in Bandra West, Mumbai. The actress had bought a sprawling sea-facing apartment on the 36th floor last September, measuring 4,210.87 sq ft and for an amount of Rs 11 crore.

In a very jovial atmosphere, the couple obliged the photographers with group pictures, joined later by Sonakshi's father, veteran Bollywood actor and newly elected Trinamool Congress MP Shatrughan Sinha, with his wife Poonam. A steady stream of celebrities came visiting, starting with timeless stars like Saira Bano and Rekha, adding more to the celebratory mood in the evening.

Immediately after the intimate ceremony, the couple shared pictures of the first ones as husband and wife on social media, giving a glimpse of their wedding attire. Sonakshi beamed in an ivory-and-gold saree, pairing it with a kundan choker, matching earrings, and bangles.

Shatrughan made a never-before appearance with Zaheer Iqbal on the evening of Thursday ahead of their impending wedding on June 23rd.

Earlier, Shatrughan Sinha, a veteran actor who has just been elected as Lok Sabha MP from Asansol on Trinamool Congress ticket, had expressed shock and surprise over the news of Sonakshi's marriage.
