Actress Sonakshi Sinha married boyfriend Zaheer Iqbal in June last year. For this, Sonakshi had to face a lot of criticism about her inter-religious marriage. Not only this, there was also talk that her father Shatrughan Sinha and both brothers were against her decision. Sonakshi’s brothers Luv and Kush still do not accompany her to any event. Meanwhile, Sonakshi shared her opinion on inter-religious marriage in a recent interview.
In the interview, Sonakshi said that Zaheer and I were not even thinking about religion. We are just two people who love each other. Marriage was a natural step for us. Neither he imposes his religion on me nor I on him. We both respect each other’s religions and that is the most important thing. We never even discussed it, as it does not matter to our relationship. Zaheer comes to my house for Diwali puja and I go to his house for niyaaz. That’s enough. I respect his culture and his whole family respects our culture. That’s the right way.
Sonakshi further said that it was right for us to get married under the Special Marriage Act and that’s what we did. Neither he nor I had to change our religion. It is as simple as two people getting married who have a beautiful relationship with each other.
