Interfaith marriages are considered taboo in our country. And it gets worse when one is Hindu and the other one is Muslim. A Hindu and Muslim marriage isn\u2019t taken well in our society. It is mostly labeled as love jihad. However, many Bollywood actresses have gone against this taboo belief and married the love of their life without bothering about their religion. These inter-faith couples have also set an example that one can marry outside religion and live in harmony by respecting each other\u2019s beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
