Civil marriage it is! Zaheer Iqbal's father reacts to rumours of Sonakshi changing her religion: ‘She is not converting for sure’

Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal wedding festivities have begun

Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal's wedding is the hottest topic right now. As the big day approaches, people have started wondering if Sonakshi is going to change her religion or not. To shut down all the chatter on social media, Zaheer Khan's father has made a big statement, sharing that religion has no role to play in love.

Zaheer Iqbal's dad, Iqbal Ratansi, shared with Free Press Journal, "It will have neither Hindu nor Muslim rituals. It will be a civil marriage." Zaheer's father further dismissed reports claiming Sonakshi might convert to Islam after her wedding. "She is not converting, and that is for sure. Theirs is a union of hearts, and religion has no role to play whatsoever," he said and then added, "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."
