Soha Ali Khan with Saif and Kareena
Soha Ali Khan always treats us to adorable glimpses of her family moments. She married Kunal Kemmu in 2015 and, back then, faced backlash for her interfaith marriage. In a recent interview, Soha was asked about the noise around her decision to marry Kunal, and she recalled how people used phrases like “Ghar Wapsi” and “Love Jihad.” She shared that similar noise was made when Saif and Kareena got married.
In an interview with Nayandeep Rakshit, the Rang De Basanti actress recalled, “I don’t think it got to me because I feel like as long as the people I love, care about, and respect are on the same page as me, it’s okay. There are going to be lots of haters, lots of voices, and that’s also okay. I am fine with everyone having an opinion, and that’s all fine. So I think things like interfaith marriage, even when Kunal and I got married, even when Kareena and bhai got married, there were lots of strange things: Love Jihad, Ghar Wapsi, all kinds of weird headlines. You know, ‘you took one of ours, now we will take one of yours.’”
