‘Sonakshi Sinha did nothing illegal’: Shatrughan Sinha responds to trolling, protest against daughter’s wedding to Zaheer Iqbal

After their wedding, Sonakshi and Zaheer had shared photos of the civil ceremony but switched off comments on Instagram to avoid ugliness. The couple has faced trolling on social media.

Speaking to Times Now, Shatrughan said, “Anand Bakshi saab has written about such professional protestors, ‘Kucch to log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna. To this I would like to add, ‘Kehne waale agar bekar, bekaam-kaaj ke ho to kehna hi kaam ban jata hai (For unemployed people, this is all the work they have).’ My daughter has done nothing illegal or unconstitutional.”

He added about Sonakshi and Zaheer’s wedding, “A wedding is a very personal decision between two people; no one has the right to interfere or comment. To all the protestors I say – go, get a life. Do something useful with your life. Aur kucch nahi kehna (I have nothing else to say)”.

In an earlier conversation with the same publication, Shatrughan had spoken about the interfaith marriage and defended Sonakshi’s decision to choose the man she wants to marry. When asked how he was feeling on the day of his daughter’s wedding, Shatrughan had said, “Yeh bhi koi poochne ki baat hai? Every father waits for this moment when his daughter is given to her chosen groom. My daughter looks most happy with Zaheer. Unki jodi salamat rahe. 44 years ago, Shatrughan Sinha married a very successful, very beautiful, very talented girl of his choice, Poonam Sinha. Now it is Sonakshi’s turn to marry the boy of her choice.”
