Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal married on June 23, 2024. The pair had a private wedding at the former's Bandra home. However, following their wedding, a protest march was arranged in Sonakshi's father, Shatrughan Sinha's hometown of Patna, Bihar. The Hindu Shiv Bhawani Sena, a fringe party, termed the interfaith marriage 'love jihad' and ordered Sonakshi not to visit the state capital again.

Earlier today, the actor-turned-politician responded to the demonstration by urging everyone to cease inciting hatred. He urged trolls to 'get a life' and insisted that his daughter had not done anything unlawful. "Anand Bakshi saab wrote about such professional protestors: 'Kucch to log kahenge, logon ki kaam hai kehna. I would like to add, 'Kehne waale agar bekar, bekaam-kaaj ke ho to kehna hi kaam ban jata hai (For unemployed people, this is all the work they have). "My daughter has not done anything illegal or unconstitutional," Shatrughan told Times Now.

"A wedding is a highly personal choice between two people, and no one has the right to meddle or remark. To all the protests, I reply, "Get a life." Do something valuable with your life. "I have nothing else to say," the seasoned actor said.
