Aamir Khan faces flak for daughter Ira Khan's engagement with Hindu partner: Here's a list of 7 Muslim actresses who married Hindu actors

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan's daughter Ira Khan got engaged to her boyfriend Nupur Shikhare in Mumbai on Saturday, November 19. The engagement ceremony was attended by Ira's father Aamir Khan, mother Reena Dutta, Kiran Rao, Aamir Khan's nephew Imran Khan and grandmother Zeenat Hussain.

The pictures from the engagement ceremony went viral going on social media. In the pictures, Ira Khan can be seen wearing a gorgeous red gown, while her boyfriend Nupur Shikhare can be seen in a black suit. While, everyone was seen happy with the engagement, it seems this inter-religion ceremony did not go down well with the Islamists and they ended up trolling Aamir Khan for allowing his 'Muslim daughter' to be engaged with a 'Hindu man.'

While, an Islamist claimed in Urdu that the inter-faith engagement between the Bollywood actor's daughter and her Hindu partner was the consequence of his adulterous behaviour, another one commented that Aamir Khan forgot all the rules of the Islamic Faith after acting in the movie 'Ghajini' where the protagonist was shown to have short-term memory loss. Apart from cursing the 'Laal Singh Chaddha' actor, one Islamist even targeted the newly-engaged couple as 'Sanghi jihad.' Some claimed that it was a case of 'love jihad' and 'reverse love jihad.'

However, this is not the first time in Bollywood when a Muslim girl has been in a relationship with a Hindu girl and has decided to get engaged or married. Let's have a look at a few Bollywood Muslim actresses who married Hindu actors.
