    The paper deals with the number of zeros (lying in a compact interval) of random trigonometric polynomials, whose coefficients are independent identically distributed bivariate real random vectors with zero mean and unit covariance matrix. Random polynomials have been intensively studied by many researchers, there are a lot of applications in various branches of science and technology including nuclear physics, statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics. The authors of the present article prove that the number of zeros in the segment \([a/n,b/n]\) converges in distribution to the number of zeros in the segment \([a,b]\) of a stationary Gaussian process with zero mean and covariance \(sc(t-u)\), where \(sc(t)=\sin(t)/t\). This result is obtained for general distributions and it generalizes the result obtained by \textit{J.-M. Azaïs} et al. [``Local universality of the number of zeros of random trigonometric polynomials with continuous coefficients'', Preprint, \url{arXiv: 1512.05583}] under the assumption that the components of the coefficients have infinitely smooth density.
