Actor and television presenter Shibani Dandekar along with her actor-filmmaker husband Farhan Akhtar graced close friend Rhea Chakraborty’s podcast ‘Chapter 2’ for its latest episode. The couple, who has been married for over two years got candid about their relationship. In one of the segments, Shibani reacted to the negative comments she received during her courtship with Farhan.
Shibani said, “When I started my relationship with Farhan, people used to say these two things to me– ‘love jihad and gold digger’. What am I supposed to do with that? I am not going to cry myself to bed because people are saying these things. I am not a gold digger, and the truth of the matter is that he does come from a Muslim home, and I do come from a Hindu home, we got married, and we are very happy with our marriage. That’s the reality of our situation. So, people can say whatever they want about us, it is what it is.”
