Shatrughan Sinha REACTS to protests, trolling against Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal’s marriage: “My daughter has done nothing illegal or unconstitutional”

Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal are officially husband and wife! The loved-up couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony surrounded by close family and friends, followed by a dazzling reception that radiated love and joy on June 23. However, the wedding has received ire from a certain fringe Hindu group in Patna, the Hindu Shivbhavani Sena that has labelled the marriage as “love jihad,” a term used to demonize interfaith relationships, specifically Hindu women marrying Muslim men.

Shatrughan Sinha REACTS to protests, trolling against Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal’s marriage: “My daughter has done nothing illegal or unconstitutional”

This hateful rhetoric has manifested in the form of posters across Patna threatening Sonakshi and even targeting her father, veteran actor and politician Shatrughan Sinha. The posters allege the marriage is part of a conspiracy to “Islamify” India and demand that Shatrughan change the names of his palatial Mumbai residence, “Ramayana,” and his sons, Luv and Kush, claiming these names disrespect Hinduism.

Shatrughan Sinha has responded defiantly to this outpouring of hate. Refusing to be cowed, he called the protestors “unemployed people” who should “get a life”. In an interview with Times Now, Sinha said, “Anand Bakshi saab has written about such professional protestors, ‘Kuch toh log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna. To this 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 done nothing illegal or unconstitutional.”

He added, “A wedding is a very personal decision between two people; no one has the right to interfere or comment. To all the protestors I say – go, get a life. Do something useful with your life. Aur kuch nahi kehna (I have nothing else to say)”.

Sonakshi and Zaheer have chosen to avoid the negativity. After sharing photos of their civil ceremony and reception pictures, they disabled comments on their Instagram posts to shield themselves from online trolls.
