When two people are in love, nothing else matters: Sonakshi Sinha on the wedding

Mumbai: Actress Sonakshi Sinha says nothing else should matter when two people are in love and she is happy that she was able to follow her heart by marrying her long-time boyfriend Zaheer Iqbal.

Sinha and Iqbal, also an actor, had a civil wedding followed by a star-studded reception on June 23.

“…I believe when two people are in love, nothing else matters. And I hope people have the strength to follow their hearts like I did and I am happy,” the actress told PTI, adding that she hopes everyone lives in harmony and “appreciates and respects each other, no matter where they come from.”

When asked about the most special events of their wedding, Sonakshi said that there were several joyful moments that she remembers vividly, including the ceremony where they signed the marriage certificates.

“…Just before we left for the reception and the house started to empty out as everyone headed to the venue, it was just the two of us and we took a moment. We walked to the house that we wanted to make our home together and (paused) to take it all in. We looked out at the city and just held each other,” she said.

Sinha, who is currently seen in the horror comedy “Kakuda” with Riteish Deshmukh and Saqib Saleem, is enjoying a career resurgence with the success of “Dahaad” last year and “Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar” this year.

Like in “Heeramandi”, Sinha also played a double role in “Kakuda”, directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, who became known for “Munjya”.

“It’s very interesting, especially when you can do it in the same film. You play two very different characters and have to show it in different ways. I had a lot of fun doing that.”
