Speaking to Hauterrfly, Sonakshi said, "We were not looking at religion. Here are two people in love with each other who want to get married, and were getting married. He is not enforcing his religion on me. I am not enforcing my religion on him. We never discussed anything about religion. We don't sit and talk. We appreciate and understand each other’s cultures. They follow certain traditions at their home. I follow certain traditions at my house...I respect them and their culture. They respect me and my entire family. That’s how it should be."

“The best way to get married was a Special Marriage Act where I, as a Hindu woman, do not need to change my religion and he, as a Muslim man, can remain a Muslim man. And two people in love share a beautiful bond of marriage. It was as simple as that. There was never a question asked... Are you going to convert? We love each other. We are getting married. That was it," she added.
