Sonakshi won’t convert to Islam after marriage to Zaheer

During a recent interview with Free Press Journal, Zaheer Iqbal’s father opened up about his son’s wedding. He told the publication, “It will have neither Hindu nor Muslim rituals. It will be a civil marriage.”

Dismissing reports of Sonakshi Sinha converting to Islam after her marriage to Zaheer Iqbal, the ‘Notebook’ actor’s father said, “She is not converting – that is for sure. Theirs is a union of hearts, and religion has no role to play whatsoever.” He added, “I believe in humanity. God is called Bhagwan by Hindus and Allah by Muslims. But at the end of the day, we are all human beings. My blessings are with Zaheer and Sonakshi.”
