Zaheer Iqbal recalled the day he met Shatrughan Sinha to ask his permission to propose to Sonakshi Sinha. The actor, in a recent interview, admitted he was scared and was ‘shaking’ while having the conversation with his father-in-law about marriage. Zaheer revealed that he stammered by asking for permission and accidentally slipped in that he already has a ring to propose to her.
“When I had to go take permission to propose, I was so scared. I was shaking and main baat kar raha hoon, aur pata chale wo mujhe bol de ‘Khaamosh.’ But he was so nice about it, he was so lovely,” Zaheer told Galatta India.
Recalling the chat, Zaheer said, “I stammered and told him, ‘Uncle, wo actually, wo Sona ne aapko bataya hoga, ke we are…’ He replied, ‘Haan, bataya toh tha…’ I thought, ‘You don’t know where I am going with this?’ (laughs) I then said, ‘Uncle, main soch raha tha, main thoda, main thoda nahi pura propose kar deta hoon.’ He’s like, ‘Acha, very good, very good.'”
The actor then offered to answer any questions Shatrughan had about him which resulted in both of them talking for over an hour. “I said, ‘Uncle, if you want to ask anything about me then please…’ Then we had a nice, one-hour conversation about everything and he was really sweet and loving. But I was really scared when I entered that room. If he would have said no, what would I have done? By mistake I told him I already bought the ring, so that he knows he shouldn’t say no,” Zaheer said.
Sonakshi and Zaheer dated for seven year before they decided to get married. The couple exchanged their vows on June 23. The couple had a civil wedding ceremony before they hosted a grand wedding bash on the same day.
