"It will have neither Hindu or Muslim rituals. It will be a civil marriage," he said.

The marriage will be as per the Special Marriage Act, 1954 under which the couple had reportedly given the mandatory one-month notice to the marriage registrar. He hinted that the wedding, scheduled for June 23, could be held at his residence on Carter Road.

Questioned about the rumours around Sonakshi being converted to Islam, Zaheer’s father said, “She is not converting and that is for sure. Theirs is a union of hearts and religion has no role to play whatsoever”.

“I believe in humanity. God is called Bhagwan by Hindus and Allah by Muslims. But at the end of the day, we are all human beings. My blessings are with Zaheer and Sonakshi," he added.
