Poonam Sinha's Controversial Comment About Sonakshi's Marriage Sparks Reactions

Mumbai, Nov 28 (NationPress) Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha recently appeared on the streaming comedy sketch show ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’ with her husband, Zaheer Iqbal, her father, veteran Bollywood actor Shatrughan Sinha, and her mother Poonam Sinha. However, during the episode, Poonam’s comment raised eyebrows for its tone.
In the course of the episode, Poonam discussed the idea of always marrying someone who loves you more than you love them. She began with her own experience and then shifted to talk about her daughter, mentioning that Sonakshi married someone for whom she has stronger feelings than he does for her.
Poonam remarked, “Meri mummy ne kaha tha ki hamesha ussi se shaadi karna jo tumko zyada pyaar kare. Voh toh maine sunn liya, kar bhi liya. Lekin meri beti ne kya kiya? Usne usse shaadi ki jisko yeh zyada pyaar karti hai.”
This statement caught the actress by surprise. Nevertheless, Sonakshi managed to respond gracefully, stating, “Wo thoda debatable hai. Usko (Zaheer) lagta hai voh mujhse zyada pyaar karta hai. Mujhe lagta hai main usse zyada pyaar karti hoon. Ab settle kaun karega yeh maamla?”
The clip has since gained traction on Reddit, where users reacted to Poonam’s comment and expressed support for Sonakshi. One user noted, “Oh god, that was actually so sad and awkward to watch. They thought her statement was heading in a completely different direction and celebrated a little too early. You can see he was a bit hurt by where that went.”
Another commented, “Sona handled it really well. You could see she sensed that he felt bad about it.”
A third user wrote, “The way Sonakshi handled it is really impressive. But I really felt bad for that guy.”
