I must say when Sif got married to Amrita she had to convert for Kareena he says religion does nt matter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sure he will change his tune after marriage. Maybe that is why they are both more comfortable to continue as they are
Amrita Singh’s one side of the family is already Muslim. Her mother’s name is Rukhsana Sultana. Her dad is sikh. Though Muslim scholars will never agree, children usually end up accepting their mother’s religion instead of dad’s because she is far closer to them than him. Fun fact, Amrita’s relative is actor Ayub khan.
Thank you, we have added you as a reference.
Also add Kishore Kumar and Madhubala (Mumtaz Jahan Begum Dehlvi) – believed to be nikaah
sorry, it was civil court marriage
absolutely wrong !!!
at the time of marriage there was vehment opposition from kishore kumars family as he was a brahmin nd they did accept madhubala and also madhubala is out of hindu-muslim marriage as her mother was a hindu. at the time of marriage kishore kumar converted to become (abdul karim. you can goooooogle it !!!!!
How does it matter? Both of them passed away..
From WikiPedia..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kishore_Kumar
“Kishore’s second wife was actress Madhubala, who had worked with him on many films including his home production Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958) and Jhumroo (1961). When Kishore Kumar proposed to her, Madhubala was sick and was planning to go to London for treatment. At this time, she didn’t know that she had a ventricular septal defect (hole in the heart), and her father wanted her to wait and consult the London doctors first. Furthermore, at the time he was married to Ruma. After his divorce, because Kishore Kumar was Bengali Hindu (Brahmin) and Madhubala Muslim, they had a civil wedding ceremony in 1960. His parents refused to attend. The couple also had a Hindu ceremony to please Kumar’s parents, but Madhubala was never truly accepted as his wife. Within a month of her wedding she moved back to her bungalow in Bandra because of tension in the Kishore Kumar household. They remained married but under great strain for the remainder of Madhubala’s life. The doctors in London told Madhubala that she would not live for long. The marriage lasted for nine years, and ended with Madhubala’s death on 23 February 1969.”
Pankaj Kapoor and Neelima Azeem have divorced, re married and had other kids. Please update your chart.

they all dont believe in 1 Allah and theydont know what islam is they all make me sick.^
Why? Let them believe what they want and you believe in what you want. They are minding their own business and doing good for this world, and not highjacking planes! There will always be someone who don’t follow your ideology, be that shia, sunni, trinity believe, LORD God believe, Isvara believer or an atheist. You have to learn to be tolerant to others.
shabana raza (neha) is my best…..and i dont know what is her relijion if she is a hindu then please come to islam because i wont that she unsuccesse ofter death.

All I could say may the Almighty guide them to the truth. Before it is too late. Non will return from there to rectify their mistakes but only wish to be allowed to return. What a shame deluded as they are. It is their souls dt are at loss.
