Shatrughan Sinha is completely unfazed by the ongoing protests against Sonakshi Sinha's interfaith marriage. However, in an interview with Times Now, Shatrughan mentioned that people will always have something to say about others and his daughter's marriage is their personal matter. Adding that Sonakshi has done nothing illegal or unconstitutional, Shatrughan said:
"Anand Bakshi Saab has written about such professional protesters Kuch toh log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna. My daughter has done nothing illegal or unconstitutional. A marriage 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.' Bas, aur kuch nahin kehna."
