Luv Sinha and Sonakshi Sinha

Luv Sinha has publicly confirmed his decision to skip the wedding ceremony of his sister, Sonakshi Sinha, with Zaheer Iqbal. The registered marriage took place on June 23, 2024, in the presence of close family and friends at Sonakshi's Bandra apartment. The ceremony was followed by a star-studded celebration at Mumbai’s Bastian, which saw many prominent figures from the film industry in attendance. However, the conspicuous absence of Luv Sinha and his brother, Kussh Sinha, sparked widespread media speculation and public curiosity.

The absence of the Sinha brothers did not go unnoticed, and soon after the wedding, rumors and speculations began to swirl. Various media outlets and tabloids jumped to conclusions, with some attributing the brothers' absence to potential family discord or disagreements. However, Luv Sinha chose to address these speculations head-on.

“With carefully curated news stories about his family business, nobody tread grey areas like the groom’s father’s proximity to a politician whose ED enquiries had vanished in the “washing machine”. Nor was there a whiff of the groom’s father’s stint in Dubai….”

Luv broke his silence by sharing his perspective on social media, stating, "The reasons are very clear as to why I didn’t attend, and would not associate with some people no matter what."
One of the primary reasons Luv cited for his absence was his discomfort with certain individuals associated with the wedding. He highlighted concerns about the antecedents of the groom, Zaheer Iqbal, and his family. In a tweet, Luv shared a passage from a media column that discussed these concerns. The column detailed how carefully curated news stories about Zaheer’s family business had avoided addressing certain "grey areas," such as Zaheer's father’s alleged proximity to a politician with ongoing Enforcement Directorate (ED) inquiries.

The reasons are very clear as to why I didn’t attend, and would not associate with some people no matter what. I’m glad a member of the media did their research instead of relying on creative stories being put out by a PR team.

The passage shared by Luv read: "With carefully curated news stories about his family business, nobody tread grey areas like the groom’s father’s proximity to a politician whose ED inquiries had vanished in the ‘washing machine.’ Nor was there a whiff of the groom’s father’s stint in Dubai, which was rumored to have ended rather abruptly."

Luv’s firm stance on his decision not to attend was further reinforced by his emphasis on principles and values. He expressed his gratitude towards a member of the media who conducted thorough research instead of relying on PR-driven narratives. "I’m glad a member of the media did their research instead of relying on creative stories being put out by a PR team," he tweeted.
Despite Luv and Kussh’s absence, the wedding saw the attendance of other family members. Sonakshi’s parents, Shatrughan Sinha and Poonam Sinha, were present at the ceremony and the reception. Their presence added to the celebratory atmosphere and helped ensure that the couple’s special day was a memorable one.
The public reaction to Luv’s revelations has been mixed. While some praised his transparency and principled stance, others expressed concern over the potential impact on family dynamics. The wedding, which should have been a joyous occasion, has thus been overshadowed by these revelations and the ensuing media attention.
