Shatrughan Sinha BREAKS Silence on Health Rumours and Sonakshi Sinha’s Wedding: ‘I’m No Longer…’ – News18

Veteran actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha has finally addressed the rumours surrounding his health after he was admitted to Kokilaben hospital in Mumbai over the weekend. Sinha denied reports of him falling off a sofa and going through surgery.

Speaking to Times Now/Zoom, he said, “Arrey bhai, mujhe surgery hui aur mujhe khud nahin maloom (If I had surgery, wouldn’t I know?)” When asked about the reason behind his hospitalisation, Sinha said, “Just for annual routine full-body checkup. I recommend it for everyone over 60. I’ve been travelling for my election campaigning nonstop for three months. Then right after my daughter got married. I’m no longer that hot-blooded energy-driven young man who could do three shifts a day and still have the energy to party all night. I need to slow down.”

Sinha further said that he is happy that his daughter Sonakshi is finally married. “It all went off well. Thanks to the Almighty, my daughter is happily married now. As for the naysayers who are not happy, I have nothing to say to them,” he added.

Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha married longtime boyfriend Zaheer Iqbal in a private ceremony at her Bandra apartment in Mumbai June 23. After the civil marriage, the newlyweds hosted a grand reception at Bastian, Dadar. The actress has been facing immense trolling for her inter-faith marriage with Zaheer. The newlyweds have even switched off comments on their wedding photos on Instagram to avoid unwarranted hate during their special occasion.

Earlier reacting to the trolls, Sinha told Times Now, “Every father waits for this moment when his daughter is given to her chosen groom. My daughter looks most happy with Zaheer. Unki jodi salamat rahe.”

“44 years ago, Shatrughan Sinha married a very successful, very beautiful, very talented girl of his choice, Poonam Sinha. Now it is Sonakshi’s turn to marry the boy of her choice,” he added.
