Love is love, and it sees no religion, gender etc. However, we live in an era where the communal harmony between the two religions does not matter, but it’s all about dividing people. The latest example of this can be the Tanishq Ad controversy where love lost the battle against the trolls. It may sound filmy, but over the years, Bollywood has played a major role in proving the fact that religion plays no important role when two people fall for each other. There are numerous couples in the tinsel town who make us believe in the essence of pure love. From Shah Rukh Khan-Gauri Khan, Saif Ali Khan-Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sanjay Dutt-Maanyata Dutt to Priyanka Chopra-Nick Jonas, we bring to names of 7 celebs who had interfaith shaadis. Have a look.
