From Swara Bhaskar to Kareena, Celebs who Married under the Special Marriage Act
Before Swara Bhaskar – Fahad Ahmad, many celebrities married under the Special Marriage Act of 1954
Swara Bhaskar announced her wedding with Fahad Zihar Ahmad out of the blue. The two had an interfaith marriage and chose the Special Marriage Act of 1954 to solemnize their vows.
Giving applaud to this special law, Swara wrote on Twitter, “Three cheers for the #SpecialMarriageAct (despite notice period, etc.) At least it exists and gives love a chance. The right to love, choose your life partner, marry, and the right to the agency should not be a privilege”.
Bollywood has always embraced all kinds of marriages despite their nature, religion, caste or gender. Before Swara- Fahad, many celebrities married under this Special Marriage Act of 1954.
Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor
Chote Nawab and Bebo are one of the most adorable couples in B-town. They have immense respect for each other and each other’s religions too. In an interview, Saif said he never wanted Kareena to change her religion. Kareena practiced her Hindu faith even after marrying into a Muslim family.
Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kehmu
Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kehmu should probably be declared the professors of ‘How to respect each other’s faith?’ Whether it is a Hindu festival or an Islamic holy day, the duo spend it with utter joy with their daughter, Inaaya.
They got married under the Special Marriage Act in a registrar’s presence at home, and in the presence of their kin and some close non-filmy friends.
Shahrukh Khan and Gauri Khan
The one couple that will inspire us for generations is Shahrukh Khan and Gauri Khan. Their love story is not less than a fairy tale. Millions of girls of every age fell head over heels for Khan. But the King of Bollywood had already lost his heart to Gauri. They struggled to convince their families for this union as they followed different faiths.
However, SRK and Gauri had a Hindu wedding, and the latter did not convert into Muslim after marrying Khan.
