Mumbai: Actor Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal married on June 23 in the presence of their loved ones. However, the absence of one of her brothers, Luv Sinha, on the special day was a noticeable void. Luv took to X (formerly Twitter) to hint at why he didn’t attend the wedding.
On Sunday, Luv shared an article by Telegraph India, stating that family always comes first for him, writing, “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.”
Later in the day, he pointed out a specific paragraph about Zaheer’s family, “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….” hinting at unlawful practices by Sonakshi’s father-in-law Iqbal Ratansi.
The full paragraph reported by Telegraph India reads, “Apparently, one reason for anxiety was a rumour about the groom’s antecedents. 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, which was rumoured to have ended rather abruptly. Was there the hand of a superstar who had connections at the highest level in the UAE?”
On Monday, Luv claimed it was ‘very clear’ why he didn’t attend his sister’s wedding, writing, “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.”
While Luv chose to skip the wedding, his parents – Shatrughan Sinha and Poonam – and twin brother, Kussh, attended the intimate wedding that took place in Bandra, Mumbai.
