Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal got married on 23 June. Their marriage remained a topic of discussion due to being interfaith. Both of them have talked about this for the first time in an interview.
In an interview to Times Entertainment, Sonakshi said, 'We are not different from each other at all. Our core values are exactly the same. Our parents have taught us to be good human beings and have taught us that all Gods are one. To be a good person in life, good values matter and we have been brought up with this thinking.'
There was never any discussion on religion: Sonakshi
Sonakshi further said, 'During our seven years of dating, our different religions were never an issue in our discussions. We both respect each other's religion and this has never been an issue or a point of discussion for us. Whatever uproar has been created about interfaith wedding has been created by other people.'
Zaheer said on interfaith marriage with Sonakshi, 'I may have fifty thousand differences with Sona but they can never be on religion. Zaheer told that he had consulted Salim Uncle (Salim Khan) on interfaith marriage.
Sonakshi-Zaheer got married on 23 June

At the time of the wedding, there was a discussion about whether Sonakshi would convert to Islam after marriage. Zaheer's father Iqbal Ratnasi had answered this question of the people. He had said that Sonakshi will not convert to Islam after marriage.
