Shatrughan Sinha says he understands why sons Luv-Kussh skipped Sonakshi Sinha-Zaheer Iqbal’s wedding: ‘They have their pain, confusion…’
Shatrughan Sinha addressed his sons skipping the inter-faith wedding of his daughter Sonakshi Sinha with Zaheer Iqbal.

Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal’s marriage was one of the biggest highlights of the year. The couple, who secretly dated each other for over seven years, tied the knot in June. There were several speculations around the wedding and reports of the Sinha family being against the marriage. Post marriage, it was revealed that Sonakshi’s brothers Luv and Kussh were against the marriage and didn’t attend the festivities. Now, Shatrughan Sinha, who supported her daughter throughout her journey, shared his point of view and explained why his sons may have an issue with the union.
Recently, in a conversation with Retro Lehren, the veteran star was asked if he supported his daughter’s decision of inter-faith wedding, the actor quickly replied, “Of course, I will support my daughter. I don’t have any reason to not to.” He explained, “It’s their life and their wedding. They have to lead a life. If they are sure about each other, who are we to be against it? As parents and as a father, it was my duty to support her. I have always been with her, and I will continue to be so. We speak so much about women empowerment, how is it wrong for her to choose her partner? Not like she did anything illegal. She was mature.”
He expressed his happiness over his daughter’s marriage and said, “I was enjoying her wedding parties. I was so overjoyed meeting and greeting people. They (Sonakshi and Zaheer) looked very beautiful together. There was an amazing atmosphere.”
Shatrughan Sinha also addressed his sons not being a part of the wedding. Refusing to react to why their sons took the decision of skipping their sister’s wedding altogether, the veteran star said that he also understands their pain and confusion. “I won’t complain. They are only humans. They maybe still not be so mature. I do understand their pain and confusion. There is always cultural reaction. Maybe, if I was their age, I might have had a similar reaction to it. But, here is where your maturity, seniority, and experience comes in place. Hence, my reaction was not as extreme as my sons.”
Sonakshi Sinha married her Double XL co-star Zaheer on June 23 at her residence in Mumbai. On the same night, the couple hosted a grand reception party for their industry friends. It was attended by Salman Khan, Rekha, and Kajol, among others.
While her brother Kussh said he was actually a part of the celebrations and called it a ‘sensitive time for the family’, Luv Sinha had commented in a cryptic X post, “The reasons are very clear as to why I didn’t attend, and would not associate with some people no matter what. I’m glad a member of the media did their research instead of relying on creative stories being put out by a PR team.”
