Sonakshi Sinha's upcoming wedding to actor Zaheer Iqbal has become the subject of intense media scrutiny. Whispers of a family rift fueled by social media activity have overshadowed the couple's impending nuptials.

The speculation began with an eagle-eyed Reddit user who observed that Sonakshi's mother, Poonam Sinha, and brother, Luv Sinha, were not following her on Instagram. This seemingly trivial detail ignited a firestorm of online discussion. Many interpreted it as a sign of disapproval towards Zaheer, with comments like "Strange! Why would she not follow her daughter?" became a common refrain.

However, not everyone is convinced. Some netizens believe it's an overreaction, pointing out that older generations might not be as active on social media or use it to express personal disagreements. A commenter remarked, "Bro most parents don't use Instagram like that. Unnecessary speculations."

Further fueling the rumours was a cryptic post by Luv Sinha himself. He shared a throwback picture with the caption, "What side will you embrace today? #twoface #duotone #duality #throwback #portrait." This ambiguous message, coupled with his earlier refusal to comment on the wedding, added fuel to the fire.
