She will always have my blessings.”

Shatrughan Sinha further added, “Sonakshi is the apple of my eye. She is my only daughter and very close to me. I am a proud father because, over the years, she has also grown as an actor. From Lootere to Dahaad to now Heeramandi, she has proved to be a fantastic actor. If my daughter is getting married, I will give her my blessings and support her decision and choice. Sonakshi has the right to choose her companion, and I will be the happiest father on her wedding day. I will always wish her the best... ek hi toh beti hai meri.”

On the professional front, Sinha, who won the Asansol Lok Sabha seat in West Bengal, will be making his OTT debut soon. He said, “I have recently shot for a web series, Gangs Of Ghaziabad. It is interesting how viewers are enjoying OTT content. There are interesting slice-of-life stories being made, and actors are getting good opportunities.”

Ask him if people are moving to watching OTT content more than films and he said, "Watching a film in a theatre has a magic of its own. You watch a film without any distraction while at home, there could be distractions. People are enjoying good content both in films and on the web."
