Actor Sonakshi Sinha is ready to make her relationship with actor Zaheer Iqbal official by getting married to him. Now, in an interview to Free Press Journal, the groom-to-be’s father, Iqbal Ratansi said that it will be a civil marriage, adding that Sonakshi will not be converting. 

Groom’s father speaks up

As pictures from the festivities emerged, Zaheer's father spoke to Free Press Journal, and shared some inside details of the marriage.

"It will have neither Hindu or Muslim rituals. It will be a civil marriage," he said.

The marriage will be as per the Special Marriage Act, 1954 under which the couple had reportedly given the mandatory one-month notice to the marriage registrar. He hinted that the wedding, scheduled for June 23, could be held at his residence on Carter Road.

Questioned about the rumours around Sonakshi being converted to Islam, Zaheer’s father said, “She is not converting and that is for sure. Theirs is a union of hearts and religion has no role to play whatsoever”.

“I believe in humanity. God is called Bhagwan by Hindus and Allah by Muslims. But at the end of the day, we are all human beings. My blessings are with Zaheer and Sonakshi," he added.

Sonakshi and Zaheer will marry on June 23, 2024, in Mumbai. Recently, Poonam Dhillon and Yo Yo Honey Singh confirmed the wedding.
