Sonakshi Sinha revealed she chose to live with her in-laws after marrying Zaheer Iqbal, finding them ‘very chill.’ Her mother-in-law humorously welcomed her despite her lack of cooking skills, stating she married into the ‘right house.’ The actress also emphasized mutual respect for each other’s customs and family traditions, highlighting it as the couple’s strength.
Sonakshi Sinha recently opened up about living with her ‘very chill’ in-laws after marriage with Zaheer Iqbal. The actress also recalled her mother-in-law’s funny reaction on learning that she doesn’t know how to cook
Choosing to live with her in-laws
In conversation with Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa, Sonakshi said, “Zaheer had asked me before marriage if I wanted to live separately from my in-laws, but I said no. I told him, ‘I’ll live with them; if you want to go, you go.”
On not knowing how to cook
Elaborating further, she added, “I don’t cook at all. My mother cooks so well, and her only problem is that her daughter doesn’t know how to cook. My mother-in-law also doesn’t know how to cook, and she says that you got married in the correct house. She said, ‘Don’t worry, tu sahi ghar pe aayi hai (you’ve come to the right house)’. I’m fond of eating, but not cooking.” She continued, “They’re all very chill, and they have a lot of fun together. It’s a very close-knit family.”
On religion and mutual respect
In conversation with The Right Angle with Sonal Kalra, Sonakshi spoke about whether religion has ever come in between their relationship. She said, “In how we are as a couple, no. In how we are at home, in terms of the different ways that we’ve been brought up in, there are certain customs that he and his family follow, which I really respect, and there are certain customs that me and my family follow, which they respect. Religion is something that will never come in between the two of us. There’s never been any question, fight, or tension when it comes to that, and I think that’s the most beautiful part of it. Our strength lies in respect.”
Zaheer’s bond with Shatrughan and Poonam Sinha
Talking about Zaheer’s bond with her parents, Shatrughan Sinha and Poonam Sinha, the actress added, “Everyone runs helter-skelter when he comes, saying ‘Zaheer aa rahe hai, damad ji aa rahe hai.’ My mom keeps asking kya khayega, kya khayega, and my dad loves spending time with him. I think they’ve become really good friends. When I enter the room, it’s usually the two of them talking while I sit quietly!” Go to Source
