# Poonam Sinha's Heartwarming Role in Sonakshi's Interfaith Love Story: 2 Years of Gentle Persuasion! Imagine spending **two full years** softly convincing your stubborn husband that your daughter's happiness trumps tradition— that's the unbreakable love defining the Sinha family.[1] In a recent tell-all, **Poonam Sinha** opened up about the emotional journey behind daughter **Sonakshi Sinha**'s interfaith wedding to **Zaheer Iqbal**. Far from the rumored family rifts, Poonam revealed she played peacemaker, pacifying **Shatrughan Sinha**'s initial doubts. "I had a doubt... was sitting at Zaheer's mother's feet," she shared, highlighting her deep respect and the warmth that bridged their worlds. This wasn't a rushed decision—Sonakshi and Zaheer had been together for years, building a bond strong enough to weather trolls, protests, and whispers of "love jihad."[4][7] Shatrughan himself stood firm, dismissing the backlash: "My daughter has done nothing illegal or unconstitutional." He called out the "vicious smear campaign" targeting his family, emphasizing that disagreements are normal but unity prevails.[2][4] Sonakshi's cousin **Pooja Ruparel** echoed this, shutting down wild tales of slaps or arguments: "Nothing of that sort happened... Sonakshi is truly happy."[1] Even brother **Luv Sinha**'s absence sparked speculation, but the family insists it's personal, not divisive.[2][6] This story mirrors Shatrughan and Poonam's own rocky romance—her mother once rejected him as a "gali ka gunda" from films, yet their 44-year marriage proves love wins.[3] From Shatrughan's wedding-day tardiness to Poonam's role as family backbone, the Sinhas embody resilience.[5] Their appearance on *The Great Indian Kapil Show* with Zaheer sealed the harmony, setting "sasur-damad" goals amid laughter and revelations.[3]
