Veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha, known for his witty nature and candid storytelling, recently shared a delightful anecdote revolving around the birth of his daughter, Sonakshi Sinha. During a session at Sahitya AajTak 2024, he fondly recalled the comical misunderstanding that ensued when he rushed to meet his newborn daughter without his usual clean-shaven look.
A Father’s Journey in Character
Shatrughan Sinha was in West Bengal’s Asansol, filming for the Bengali movie “Antarjali Jatra” where he portrayed the role of a ‘chandal’ and sported a beard for authenticity. It was amidst this filming schedule that he received the news of Sonakshi’s birth. Despite being in character and sporting the beard, the love for his newborn daughter urged him to rush to Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai without considering his appearance.
The Misunderstanding and the Joy Unveiled
Shatrughan was ecstatic to hear that he would be fathering a baby girl. His excitement knew no limits. He hurried to meet his daughter but got into a strange situation when his wife, Poonam Sinha, mistook his bearded look for dissatisfaction at having a girl kid. Correcting the record, Shatrughan emphasised that the entire experience felt like a scene from a movie and expressed his immense happiness at having a daughter after yearning for one, particularly after the birth of twin boys, Luv and Kush.
Sonakshi Sinha’s Exciting Ventures
Meanwhile, Sonakshi Sinha, the apple of Shatrughan’s eye, is embarking on exciting projects in the film industry. With roles in upcoming films like the horror-comedy “Kakuda” and ‘The Book Of Darkness,’ alongside a stellar cast including Arjun Rampal, Paresh Rawal, and Suhail Nayyar, her acting prowess continues to shine. Additionally, the anticipation is high as she shares screen space with Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff in the much-anticipated film “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.”
