    Speculation over: Shatrughan Sinha welcomes Zaheer Iqbal with open arms

    Veteran actor and politician Shatrughan Sinha subtly denied rumors of being upset about his daughter Sonakshi Sinha’s decision to marry her long-time beau Zaheer Iqbal. He was recently seen meeting his future son-in-law ahead of the big day.

    On Thursday, Shatrughan Sinha ended all speculation of family tension around Sonakshi’s wedding. Paparazzi spotted him meeting the groom-to-be outside his apartment.

    The two smiled and posed together for the cameras. Sinha even entertained the photographers by saying his iconic dialogue, “Khamosh!”. He then confirmed that he will attend his daughter’s wedding this weekend. He expressed happiness and support for her decisions, stating, “I will be there at the wedding, certainly. Why wouldn’t I? Her happiness is mine too, and vice versa. She has every right to choose her partner and plan her wedding,” as quoted by Indian media.

    “I am very busy with my political work in Delhi. Despite this, being here in Mumbai shows that I am not just her support but also her protector,” Shatrughan affirmed.

    Shatrughan Sinha reveals the story behind his mysterious visit to Pakistan

    Pakistanis were taken aback after pictures of Bollywood actor and ex-BJP member Shatrughan Sinha attending a wedding in Lahore went viral on social media with people wondering if it was actually him or a lookalike. Though it was later confirmed that the actor was indeed in Pakistan, details about his visit were not known and people were very curious to find out, especially considering tense Indo-Pak relations.

    As Sinha returned to India after spending two-three days in Pakistan, the ex-member of the Lok Sabha took to Twitter to share details of his visit. Sinha revealed that his visit was purely a personal one and he was here to attend a wedding on the invitation of a dear friend. On his visit, he interacted with several prominent personalities including Reema and former Chief Justice of Pakistan Asif Saeed Khosa.

    Sinha also said that he had a lovely time meeting the President of Pakistan Dr Arif Alvi and his wife in Lahore, adding that he knew the family very well and had attending Dr Alvi’s son’s wedding a few years back in Karachi.

    For good measure, Sinha decided to tag Indian journalists, activists and politicians in his tweets.

    Sinha’s visit comes as a surprise, especially considering that last year, the All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA) had banned and boycotted Mika Singh from the film industry after the singer performed at a wedding in Pakistan. Since then, Bollywood and Indian actors have refrained from interacting with Pakistani artists or people.

    The relationship between the two neighbouring countries went from bad to worse after the Modi government scrapped Article 370 stripping Indian-occupied Kashmir of its special status. The valley has been under lockdown ever since.
