Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal are set to tie the knot this month. Ahead of the wedding, Zaheer’s father, Iqbal Ratansi, has dismissed rumors about Sonakshi converting to Islam after marriage. In a conversation with Free Press Journal, he stated, “There will be neither Hindu nor Muslim rituals. It will be a civil marriage. She is not converting, and that is for sure. Theirs is a union of hearts, and religion has no role to play whatsoever. I believe in humanity. God is called Bhagwan by Hindus and Allah by Muslims. But at the end of the day, we are all human beings. My blessings are with Zaheer and Sonakshi.”

Recently, Shashi Ranjan, a close friend of Sonakshi’s father Shatrughan Sinha, shared an update about the wedding. He told ETimes, “She (Sonakshi) is getting married to the man she loves. Everybody is participating, and Shatru ji’s brothers are also coming from America for the wedding. The registered marriage will take place at Zaheer Iqbal’s house. It is a very happy moment for me and the family.”

A few days ago, Shatrughan Sinha confirmed his presence at the wedding. In an interview with Zoom, the veteran actor and politician addressed false reports claiming he would not be present at the ceremony. He said, “Tell me, whose life is it anyway? It’s just the life of my only daughter Sonakshi, whom I am very proud of and immensely fond of. She calls me the pillar of her strength. I will be there at the wedding, certainly. Why shouldn’t I and why won’t I?”
