Sonakshi Sinha Will NOT Convert To Islam After Wedding, Zaheer Iqbal's Father Makes BIG Statement

Sonakshi Sinha and her longtime boyfriend Zaheer Iqbal are all set to tie the knot. The couple will have a civil marriage on June 23, the groom-to-be’s father, Iqbal Ratansi has revealed. In a recent interview, Zaheer’s father shed light on their marriage when he told Free Press Journal, “It will have neither Hindu nor Muslim rituals. It will be a civil marriage.”

Zaheer’s father further dismissed reports claiming Sonakshi might convert to Islam after her wedding. “She is not converting and that is for sure. Theirs is a union of hearts and religion has no role to play whatsoever,” he said and then 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.”

Meanwhile, several reports recently claimed that Sonakshi’s father Shatrughan Sinha was also upset with her due to her wedding plans. However, the actor-turned-politician, in a recent interview, addressed the rumours and called out those who are spreading “lies” against his family. “Tell me, whose life is it anyway? It’s just the life of my only daughter Sonakshi, whom I’m very proud of and immensely fond of,” Shatrughan told Times Now.com/Zoom. “She calls me the pillar of her strength. I will be there at the wedding, certainly. Why shouldn’t I and why won’t I?”

Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal’s wedding will reportedly be a star-studded affair. Previously, Honey Singh and Poonam Dhillon confirmed that they have also been invited. News18 Showsha has also exclusively learnt that Sonakshi and Zaheer’s wedding won’t really be an intimate affair as it will see some of the biggest names in Bollywood gracing their big day to shower blessings and love on the couple.
