“My dad was very happy. He said, ‘Jab miya biwi raazi toh kya karega kaazi?’ (If the couple is ready to get married, who can stop them)”. 

Sonakshi added that Zaheer and her father got to know one another on a few occasions before to the wedding and had come to admire each other.

Zaheer said he was impressed with Shatrughan and said, “I am in awe of him and his intelligence. The knowledge he has is incredible. Just sitting with him for an hour or two feels like attending a university.”

As she revealed that her mother Poonam Sinha was the first person she spoke to in about the relationship, Sonakshi also recounted her mother's response. My mom knew him well. She herself had a love marriage, so she understands,” she said.
