Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal tied the knot in an interfaith marriage

Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal have recently disabled comments on their Instagram profile to avoid any trolls and negative comments about their interfaith marriage. The actress has recently addressed the comments and how she deals with the backlash.

During a recent podcast session with Soha Ali Khan, Sonakshi shared, “It's just noise. I am not the first person who did it, and I am not going to be the last. It's a grown ass woman making a life choice in which people I don't even know, everybody had a say in it for some reason.”

She added, “It felt all really stupid at that point in time. It was all just so beautiful for us; we were thrilled to spend the rest of our lives together, so we just cut out the noise.”

Sonakshi admitted that it’s difficult to ignore the comments, adding, “It's very difficult, especially at that time when you only want positivity coming your way. We live in a social media world so I had to put off my comments. I didn't want to read a single negative thing on my big day about me, my partner, or my family.”
