Veteran actor and politician Shatrughan Sinha has once again made his stance clear on daughter Sonakshi Sinha’s marriage to Zaheer Iqbal. In a recent interview with NDTV, he spoke warmly about the couple, said they are “made for each other,” and stressed that their union was legal, mutual and fully supported by the family.

Sonakshi and Zaheer tied the knot in 2024 under the Special Marriage Act, which allows people from different religions to marry without either partner converting. Shatrughan said there was nothing wrong with the marriage and underlined that both are adults capable of taking their own decisions. His message was simple: if the couple is happy, the family should stand with them.

The actor’s support comes at a time when Sonakshi and Zaheer’s marriage has continued to draw public attention online. Sonakshi herself has previously said that the chatter around her interfaith wedding was just “noise” and that she chose to switch off comments rather than let negativity affect her special day.

For many social media users, Shatrughan’s latest comments will be seen as a firm show of backing from a father who has never shied away from defending his daughter. The couple’s wedding had sparked debate when it took place, but over time, much of the conversation has also shifted toward admiration for the way they have handled the scrutiny with calm and dignity.

Sonakshi and Zaheer’s relationship, which reportedly grew out of years of friendship before turning into romance, has remained in the spotlight ever since their marriage. But with Shatrughan Sinha now speaking so openly in their favour, the family’s message is unmistakable: the couple’s happiness matters more than outside noise.
