Zaheer Iqbal's father says, Sonakshi Sinha won't convert to Islam after marriage

Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal are set to marry on June 23. The groom-to-be's father, businessman-jeweller Iqbal Ratnasi, recently confirmed that Sonakshi will not convert to Islam. He also shared that the couple will marry under the Special Marriage Act.

"It will have neither Hindu nor Muslim rituals. It will be a civil marriage," Zaheer Iqbal's father told Free Press Journal. He also dismissed reports about Sonakshi converting to Islam, adding, "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."

After their registered marriage, Sonakshi and Zaheer will host a wedding reception at Bastian, Mumbai. Sonakshi's parents, Shatrughan Sinha and Poonam Sinha, will also attend the celebration. Recently, Shatrughan mentioned that there was some pre-wedding stress around Sonakshi's wedding, but all is now resolved.
