Actor Sonakshi Sinha married Zaheer Iqbal on June 23, but her brother, Luv Sinha, was notably absent. Luv recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to hint at the reasons behind his absence, sparking curiosity and speculation. His absence at such a significant family event has raised eyebrows, especially given his strong stance on family values.
Luv Sinha Cites Family Priorities
Luv Sinha shared an article from Telegraph India, explaining his decision not to attend his sister’s wedding. He wrote, “Why I chose not to attend. Running an online campaign against me on a false premise won’t change the fact that for me my family will always come first.” This statement emphasized his dedication to family, despite not attending the wedding.
Later, Luv hinted at issues related to Zaheer’s family background. He pointed to a specific paragraph in the article, highlighting potential controversies surrounding Zaheer’s father, Iqbal Ratansi. The paragraph mentioned rumors about the groom’s father’s business dealings and connections with a politician whose ED inquiries had disappeared. These hints suggest Luv’s disapproval of certain associations, potentially influencing his decision to skip the wedding.
On Monday, Luv further clarified his stance, stating, “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 underscores his firm position and unwillingness to compromise on his principles.
Family Reactions and Shatrughan Sinha’s Hospitalization
While Luv chose to stay away, his parents, Shatrughan Sinha and Poonam, along with his twin brother Kussh, attended the intimate ceremony held in Bandra, Mumbai. Just days after the wedding, Shatrughan Sinha was hospitalized in Mumbai due to a high fever. Luv addressed concerns about his father’s health, stating that the hospitalization was precautionary for recovery and annual tests.
Shatrughan Sinha took to X to thank well-wishers for their congratulations on Sonakshi’s wedding. He also shared pictures from the hospital, emphasizing that he was enjoying time with family and friends and watching an international cricket match between South Africa and India.
Sonakshi and Zaheer, who dated for seven years, chose to get married on the same date they fell in love. Sharing their love story, the couple wrote, “On this very day, seven years back (23.06.2017) in each other’s eyes, we saw love in its purest form and decided to hold on to it. Today that love has guided us through all the challenges and triumphs… leading up to this moment… where with the blessings of both our families and both our gods… we are now man and wife.”
Luv Sinha’s absence at the wedding adds a layer of complexity to the family’s dynamics, highlighting the strong convictions and personal decisions that influence such significant life events.
