“The
marriage
was
a
private
affair:
it
was
always
meant
to
be,”
Shatrughan
Sinha
tells

Subhash
K
Jha
,
referring
to
his
daughter


Sonakshi’s
wedding
with
Zaheer
Iqbal

on
June
23.

“We
celebrated
the
marriage
at
a
party
where
all
our
friends
were
there.
I
am
sorry
I
had
no
time
to
invite
friends
abroad
like
dear
Mumtaz,
to
whom
I
owe
my
career.
I
read
her
affectionate
comments
in
your
article.
I
want
Mumtaz
and
my
other
friends
who
couldn’t
be
there
for
my
daughter’s
wedding
celebrations
to
know:
I
owe
you,”
he
says.

The
proud
father
gets
emotional
as
his
daughter
steps
into
a
new
phase
in
her
life.

“Every
father
waits
for
the
moment
when
his
daughter
is
given
away
to
her
chosen
groom.
My
daughter
Sonakshi
looks
most
happy
with
Zaheer.

Unki
jodi
salaamat
rahe
,”
he
says.

“I
would
like
all
my
fans,
friends
and
constituents
to
bless
the
couple.
Forty-fours
years
ago,
an
actor
named
Shatrughan
Sinha
married
a
very
beautiful,
talented
and
successful
girl
of
his
choice:
Poonam
Sinha.
Now,
it
is
Sonakshi
who
has
married
the
boy
of
her
choice.”
