A group called Hindu Shiv Bhawani Sena displayed posters across Patna threatening the Sinha family and accusing Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal of attempting to ‘Islamify’ the country. Sonakshi married Zaheer on June 23 under the Special Marriage Act. Posters have been put by Hindu activists across Patna labelling the marriage as ‘love jihad’. The activists have also declared their intent to prevent the actress from entering Bihar and demanded that her father, actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha, change the name of his Mumbai residence, ‘Ramayana’. The protestors further insisted on renaming Shatrughan Sinha's sons, Luv Sinha and Kush Sinha.

The translated version of the posters reads, “Sonakshi and Zaheer’s wedding promotes love jihad. The wedding is a religious conspiracy under the garb of love. It aims to cause damage to the Hindu culture.” It even mentioned, “Shatrughan Sinha must rethink his decision about the wedding. Or else, he must change the name of his sons Luv and Kush, and his house Ramayana.” Shatrughan Sinha has responded to hate over Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal’s interfaith marriage.

Speaking to Times Now, Shatrughan Sinha said, “Anand Bakshi saab has written about such professional protestors, ‘Kucch to log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna. To this I would like to add, ‘Kehne waale agar bekar, bekaam-kaaj ke ho to kehna hi kaam ban jata hai (For unemployed people, this is all the work they have).’ My daughter has done nothing illegal or unconstitutional He further defended Sonakshi and Zaheer’s wedding, stating, “A wedding is a very personal decision between two people; no one has the right to interfere or comment. To all the protestors I say – go, get a life. Do something useful with your life. Aur kucch nahi kehna (I have nothing else to say)”. Inside Sonakshi Sinha’s Ramayan House: A Glimpse Into Actress’ 10-Storey Luxurious Juhu Bungalow (View Pics and Videos).
