Veteran Actor Hopes Daughter’s Partner Will Remain Part of Family
As Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha prepares to tie the knot with her longtime beau Zaheer Iqbal this week, her father and acclaimed veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha has expressed his wishes for their future family life. In a past interview, Sinha had shared his views on what he sees as the ideal arrangement when his daughter decides to settle down.
While many parents expect their child to leave the nest after marriage, Sinha revealed he was hoping for a different scenario. When asked about dealing with Sonakshi’s eventual wedding, he stated that rather than seeking a son-in-law, he would prefer “another son” who chooses to remain within the family circle. Shatrughan conveyed that having someone continue living with them would be the preferred choice over the customary splitting apart that often follows marriages in traditional Indian culture.
The actor’s comments shed light on his extremely close bond with his daughter and his desire to maintain their family unit intact even after she married. He affectionately said that Sonakshi is a very emotional person who he loves dearly. Sinha’s wife Poonam also weighed in, advising that Sonakshi’s partner ought to love and prioritize her above all else.
With Sonakshi just days away from exchanging wedding vows with Zaheer, Shatrughan has now confirmed that family drama reported in media circles was entirely untrue. He will happily give his blessing to the couple at the ceremony, wishing them sincere happiness in their new journey together. While the future living situation remains unclear, it is evident that Sinha hopes the family ties will remain strong no matter what the living arrangements bring after the wedding.
