Shatrughan Sinha addressed the issue in a recent conversation and said that Sonakshi had, in fact, shown “quite strong support” for the students of Jharkhand a few days ago. The actor was asked whether his daughter plans to join politics, to which he said, “I can't say. Earlier, I used to ask. I can only say she is the most worthy daughter of a worthy father.”
