‘Ho gaya na, bas karo’: Sonakshi Sinha confronts paparazzi over parents during dinner outing

Some nights out are not meant to be a photo op, and Sonakshi Sinha made that clear in the most direct way possible. The actress was caught on camera asking photographers to back off after they kept filming her parents well past the point of comfort.

The evening started simply enough. Sonakshi stepped out for a family dinner with her husband Zaheer Iqbal, along with her father Shatrughan Sinha and mother Poonam Sinha. Outside the venue, the couple stopped for a moment to pose for the cameras, the usual routine most star kids and their partners go through.

But the calm did not last. As Shatrughan and Poonam settled into their car, photographers crowded in closer, cameras rolling, refusing to give the elderly couple even a few seconds of space. Zaheer stepped in first, asking the paparazzi politely to ease up.

Sonakshi steps in, folded hands and all

That is when Sonakshi turned around. Standing next to Zaheer, she folded her hands and said firmly, “Ho gaya na, abhi bas karo, hogaya.” It translates loosely to enough is enough, time to stop.

The photographers slowed down briefly after her request, but a few kept their cameras rolling, following the couple even as they were saying goodbye to friends nearby. It took a bit more persistence from Sonakshi before the chaos finally settled.

What everyone wore that night

Despite the tense moment, the family still showed up dressed for the occasion. Sonakshi kept it elegant in a black co-ord set with minimal jewelry. Zaheer went casual, pairing a white t-shirt with a light blue denim shirt over dark trousers.

Shatrughan Sinha stuck to his classic look, a crisp white kurta pyjama, while Poonam Sinha wore a graceful traditional outfit for the evening.

A marriage that has settled into its own rhythm

Sonakshi and Zaheer married on June 23, 2024, after years of dating quietly before going public. The couple just marked two years together with a romantic trip to Phuket, a getaway that played out across their social media in soft, sunlit photos.

There was a time when their relationship faced quiet scrutiny from within the family. Reports suggested Shatrughan and Poonam were not entirely on board with the match in its early days. Neither parent confirmed or denied this publicly, and the family kept whatever tension existed away from interviews and statements.

If there was ever real friction, recent outings tell a different story.
