Recently, Sonakshi hosted a birthday party for her father Shatrughan Sinha and husband Zaheer Iqbal. But the absence of her two brothers is clearly visible.
Sonakshi Sinha hosts birthday, video goes viral
Sonakshi Sinha gave a glimpse of the birthday celebrations by sharing a video on her YouTube channel. The celebration was an intimate affair. But, the absence of her brothers Luv and Kussh, is clearly visible.
Although, the netizens took to comment section to shower the family with blessings and lots of love. One user wrote, “Very happy birthday shatru sir and the hero bhai Zaheer bhai Very nice am injoyin a lot Thank you to share with us sona and Zaheer bhai”. Another user wrote “Happy Birthday to both, but what can i say about Shatru ji a true living legend, one of the greatest actors who has his own style and charisma that no other can or will ever match. Aaj bhi khamosh kar den sab ko.”. “It was really such a wonderful evening celebrating 2 amazing people. Thank you Sonakshi Didi”, wrote the third user.
Reason behing Luv Sinha not being involved in Sonakshi-Zaheer’s wedding
Luv's omission of his sister Sonakshi from the family photo comes days after he revealed the reason behind his absence from the wedding. In a now-deleted X post, he attacked Zaheer's father Iqbal Ratansi and said that he had connections with a politician whose ED enquiries had vanished in the "washing machine". He wrote, "With carefully curated news stories about his family business, nobody tread grey areas like the groom’s father’s proximity to a politician whose ED enquiries had vanished in the ‘washing machine’. Nor was there a whiff of the groom’s father’s stint in Dubai….”
He added, "The reasons are very clear as to why I didn’t attend, and would not associate with some people no matter what. I’m glad a member of the media did their research instead of relying on creative stories being put out by a PR team.” This post is still visible on his profile.
However, later he dropped another post on X and shared that his earlier post about Iqbal Ratansi was not his statement but an excerpt from a news article. “The quote that is being incorrectly attributed to me is not my statement, and was written in an article by a senior journalist. The matter is now closed, and I will not be commenting on it any further," he wrote.
