Veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha, fondly known as ‘Shotgun’, is celebrating his 79th birthday today, and warm wishes have been pouring in from across the film industry, friends, family and fans. Joining

the celebrations in a special way was his son-in-law, actor Zaheer Iqbal, who took to social media to share a loving birthday message for his “Sasur Ji”.

Zaheer shared a throwback picture from his wedding day with Sonakshi Sinha. In the photo, Shatrughan Sinha is seen proudly posing with the newlywed couple. Sonakshi looks radiant in a traditional red saree, while Zaheer and Shatrughan Sinha are seen dressed in elegant sherwanis.

Shatrughan Sinha’s contribution to Hindi cinema remains legendary. Known for his powerful screen presence, unmistakable voice and fearless dialogue delivery, he carved a unique space for himself in Bollywood. His iconic dialogue “Khamosh!” continues to be one of the most memorable catchphrases in Indian film history.

Over the span of his illustrious career, he worked in more than 80 films and delivered several memorable performances. From mainstream hits like Khudgarz, Yaaraon Ka Yaar and Vishwanath to cult favourites such as Jaani Dushman, Zamaana Deewana and Dostana, Sinha earned both critical acclaim and mass adoration.

After dominating the silver screen, Shatrughan Sinha successfully transitioned into politics, where he carried the same confidence and charisma. His association and camaraderie with Amitabh Bachchan — both on and off screen — further strengthened his stature as a towering public figure.

Meanwhile, daughter Sonakshi Sinha and son-in-law Zaheer Iqbal continue to remain in the spotlight. The couple has been widely appreciated for their on-screen chemistry in music videos and public appearances. Sonakshi, who recently featured in the Telugu film Jatadhara, is balancing her professional and personal life post-marriage. Zaheer, on the other hand, is known for his performances in films like Notebook and Double XL.
