Dipika Kakar is a television sensation, owing to her performance in “Sasural Simar Ka”. She has become a household name over the last 6 years that show has been running successfully. While she’s been around for so long, she’s made headlines, recently for a completely different reason
Dipika married her “Sasural Simar Ka” costar, and onscreen husband: Shoaib Ibrahim
The shaadi itself looked like it had come straight out of a fairytale
With colors and joy on people’s faces, it was hard to stop the warm gushing feeling from flooding your heart
But there was one major thing that stirred up quite a controversy: Dipika changed her religion and her name to be with the man of her dreams
She is now known as Faiza Ibrahim.
She spoke to the Indian publication, Times Of India, about her conversion and her marriage
She said “jo sach hai woh sach hai”. That what she’s done is entirely her personal matter and really doesn’t need to be talked about by the public, or openly in front of the media. While she said that yes, they are public personalities, and their entire lives are in front of the media, this is their public space and nobody has permission to enter that space. She said that she was happy and proud of what she had done, because she did it for their happiness. That her family supported her through and through with this and they did not intend on hurting anyone’s sentiments. Having said that, she wasn’t budging from the fact that it is her decision and that’s what makes her happy.
She faced immense amount of backlash from Indians and Hindus across the board
They were objecting to her and Shoaib celebrating the festival of Holi
And this was there…
People were also predicting her future
And that she was a Hinduoun ke naam per dhabba
And while there were people trying to bring her down, as much as they could, there were those who supported her and her choice
That love will always remain love
And this person who only had nice things to say
Making sure that it was love, at the end of the day, that reigned supreme
The two really seemed to have found love within one another, and the world should really be happy for them
Because, look at that, wouldn’t you want to be this in love with someone?
Regardless of who chooses to follow whatever religion, it is their choice at the end of the day. What do you think of this heartwarming story of the triumph of love?
I Asked My Indian Friends Why They Love Our Dramas So Much And Honestly, LOL
