This has fuelled speculations of a rift between the siblings as Sonakshi has decided to marry Zaheer. Zaheer is the son of Iqbal Ratansi, a jeweller and businessman.
Luv reacts
Several pictures from the wedding celebrations have surfaced online, but Luv and Kush are nowhere to be seen.
Confirming their absence from the festivities, a source said, “Sonakshi's parents attended the wedding, and were naturally excited about the day. However, her brother did not make it to the wedding and reception. Photographers didn't spot the two entering the venue until the very end. And everyone found it really odd.”
When Hindustan Times tried to speak to Luv about this, he did not dodge the question and did not deny the rumours either.
“Please give me a day or two. I will answer your question if I feel I can. Thank you for asking,” he said when asked the reason behind his absence.
Earlier, Luv Sinha had reacted to the news of his sister's wedding in a conversation with ETimes. At that time too, he had maintained silence on the matter. He told ETimes, “I am out of Mumbai at the moment and if this news is about to be published, then I have no comment or involvement in this matter.”
Saqib Saleem played the responsibility of his brother
Sonakshi's close friend actor Saqib Saleem played the role of her brother at her wedding. A heartwarming video shows Sonakshi walking under the traditional 'phool ki chaadar', a flower umbrella held by her friends, with Saqib holding one end of the umbrella. Shatrughan Sinha and Poonam also attended the wedding.
Users on social media wondered about the brothers. One user commented on the video, “Where are his own brothers?” Another user asked, “Where are his family members?”
Sonakshi is married to Zaheer.
After dating for seven years, Sonakshi and Zaheer got married in a civil marriage ceremony at Zaheer's house in Bandra, Mumbai on June 23. Despite rumours of Sonakshi's parents not being in favour of the marriage, her father Shatrughan Sinha and mother Poonam Sinha were present along with Zaheer's parents to give their blessings. They also hosted a star-studded reception party in Mumbai on Sunday.
