During the conversationwith Lehren Retro, he was asked whether he supported his daughter’s decision of inter-faith wedding. To which, he responded, “Of course, I will support my daughter. I don’t have any reason to not to. 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.”

While Shatrughan refused to get into why Sonakshi’s brothers decided to skip the wedding, he shared that he understands their pain. “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,” he said.

For those unversed, Sonakshi Sinha tied the knot with her long-term-boyfriend, Zaheer Iqbal, on June 23, 2024. The couple got married under the Special Marriage Act in a civil ceremony.
