Kussh Sinha, brother of Bollywood actor Sonakshi Sinha, has addressed the rumors surrounding his presence at his sister's wedding to Zaheer Iqbal, which took place on June 23, 2024. Recent reports suggested that Kussh and his brother Luv Sinha had skipped the wedding, leading to speculation about family discord. However, Kussh has firmly refuted these claims, stating that he was indeed present at the ceremony.
In an exclusive statement, Kussh clarified his position, emphasizing his close relationship with his sister. "She's my sister, why wouldn't I be there?" he stated, dismissing the rumors as misinformation. He expressed his disappointment with the inaccurate reporting, noting that the stories seemed to originate from unnamed sources and lacked proper fact-checking. Kussh also acknowledged that it was a "sensitive" time for his family.
The wedding of Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal was a significant event, not only for the couple but also for their families and the Bollywood community. The couple, who had been dating for seven years, tied the knot in a registered marriage at Sonakshi's Bandra apartment. This was followed by a celebratory reception at a Mumbai restaurant, attended by numerous celebrities, including Anil Kapoor, Tabu, Salman Khan, and Kajol. Sonakshi shared heartfelt posts on social media, expressing her joy and commitment to Zaheer.
Kussh also lauded Sonakshi's acting abilities, noting her dedication and emotional range. He highlighted these qualities as key factors in casting her in his directorial debut, "Nikita Roy," a psychological mystery with supernatural elements, which is set to release on June 27, 2025. The film also stars Paresh Rawal and Arjun Rampal.
While Kussh has cleared the air regarding his presence at the wedding, earlier reports indicated that Luv Sinha might have had reservations, even sharing a cryptic social media post around the time of the wedding. Some reports also mentioned Shatrughan Sinha understanding his sons' potential reservations, given the interfaith nature of the marriage. Despite any undercurrents, Kussh's recent statement underscores the importance of family ties and dispels rumors of his absence from the special occasion. He reiterated his good wishes for Sonakshi and Zaheer as they embark on their married life together.
