Why This Bollywood Marriage Is Turning Into A Family Drama StarPlus

Bollywood is abuzz with the impending nuptials of Sonakshi Sinha and her longtime beau Zaheer Iqbal, a union shrouded in speculation, rumors of family drama and enough gossip to fuel a thousand chai breaks.

According to Instant Bollywood, a recent viral post on Reddit claimed that Sonakshi's brother Luv Sinha and mother Poonam Sinha had given her the cold shoulder on social media by unfollowing her on Instagram.
