Zaheer Iqbal reveals how he asked for Sonakshi Sinha's hand in marriage from Shatrughan Sinha.
Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal recently tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in the presence of their family and friends. Though there were reports of Sonakshi's family being unhappy with her marriage, her father Shatrughan Sinha, and mother Poonam Sinha were seen standing beside her on the d-day. Zaheer has now revealed Shatrughan Sinha's reaction to him asking for Sonakshi's hand in marriage.
In an interview with ETimes, Zaheer Iqbal revealed how Shatrughan Sinha reacted when he asked for Sonakshi Sinha's hand in marriage and 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."
To this, Sonakshi Sinha added how his father was 'very supportive' of their relationship and 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 realized how chilled out and cool my dad is. He was really supportive of our relationship."
While her parents were present at her wedding, her brother Luv Sinha was absent from the wedding and even the reception party. However, her brother Kussh revealed that he was present on her sister's big day. Meanwhile, Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal are currently enjoying their honeymoon in the Philippines.
