Who is Sachin Pilot's Wife Sarah Pilot?
Sarah Pilot belongs to one of the most prominent political families of Jammu and Kashmir, the Abdullah family. Before getting married to Sachin Pilot, she was Sarah Abdullah, daughter of former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah and brother of Omar Abdullah. Sarah and Sachin met in London when they were studying and fell in love. Though Abdullahs and Pilots have been family friends, they strongly opposed the marriage of the young couple.
Sachin is a Hindu and Sarah belongs to the Muslim community. Their faiths became a major hurdle as their marriage would have an effect on vote base of Abdullahs and Pilots. While Sachin somehow convinced his parents to accept Sarah, the Abdullah family didn't approve the marriage. They didn't even attend the wedding ceremony of Sarah and Sachin. However, after some years, the Abdullah family accepted the relationship.
