In a 2021 interview with Bollywood Bubble, Sonakshi shared her family’s perspective on her getting married. She revealed that her father, Shatrughan Sinha, would prefer she remains unmarried. Sonakshi mentioned that her mother occasionally suggests marriage but quickly retracts after a look from her daughter. “If it is up to him (Shatrughan Sinha), then he would never want me to get married.
