Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal face online toxicity over interfaith marriage.
Actors Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal drew brickbats on social media after tying the knot in Mumbai on June 23.
Celebrating their seven-year relationship, the couple opted for a registered marriage instead of religious rituals.
However, trolls abused and body-shamed the newlyweds for their interfaith union. Sonakshi faced flak over her sari choice as well.
Earlier, Richa Chadha, Ali Fazal, and others faced similar toxicity. But Shatrughan Sinha backed his daughter, saying religion played no role in her personal decision.
The actors’ loved-up photos showcase their affection unfazed by online negativity. Richa also congratulated the couple on braving crowds to follow their hearts.
When asked about conversion, Zaheer’s father emphasized that marriage was a “union of hearts” beyond religious boundaries. His blessings echo the sentiment.
As the couple enjoys marital bliss, such toxicity exemplifies the intolerance plaguing social forums. Well-wishers hope the thriving relationship upstages toxic tropes.
