Ever since Sonakshi Sinha tied the knot with Zaheer Iqbal, the couple has remained under constant public scrutiny. The actress married Zaheer on June 23, 2024, in an intimate ceremony attended by close family members and friends from the film industry. While the wedding was a joyous moment for the couple, their interfaith marriage has repeatedly become a target of online trolling, forcing Sonakshi, Zaheer, and even their families to address unnecessary criticism.

Responding warmly, he said, “It’s very good. Zaheer and Sonakshi not only respect each other a lot, but they also look like they were made for each other. It’s wonderful. And if Sonakshi has written that ‘this is the person who matters in my life,’ then I would say Sonakshi also believes that there are only two heroes in her life.” His heartfelt words highlighted not just acceptance but genuine admiration for his daughter’s life partner.
