From Jasmin Bhasin to Devoleena Bhattacharjee; TV actresses who got slammed for being in an interfaith relationship

Television celebs are often under the scanner of their fans and viewers. Often their personal life decisions come out as a point of trolls and slams. Time and again many TV actresses have been trolled for marrying or being in a relationship with Muslim men.

Recently, Jasmin Bhasin visited Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Zayed Mosque. The actress was seen wearing a burqa. As everyone knows Jasmin is in a relationship with Aly Goni and the duo is adored by their ship name Jasly. However, some trollers couldn't see the diva in a burqa and commented, "Ali goni ko to nhi dekha mandir mein", and another user wrote, "Love jihad se bache".

A user also asked Jasmin to take Aly to Gurudwara, "Unfollow!!! Sikh hoke yeh sab flop lady!!! Love jihad !!! Such a shame!!!! Usko le jaati gurudwre pagg pehn k nai jaata woh!! Shame!"

​Himanshi Khurana

Himanshi Khurana and Asim Riaz fell in love in the Bigg Boss house, the duo have starred in many music videos and are going strong with their relationship.

She wrote, “Dear trollers ... kindly stop spreading HATE and this highly unacceptable comment on my and #eijazkhan relationship. We purely love each other and INDEED we do not need the approval of ‘Haters’ in best regards to OUR relationship. Blessed #us #pavijaz.”

​Dipika Kakar

In the initial years of marriage, Dipika faced a lot of backlash and was trolled under the label of 'Love Jihad', the actress converted her religion to Islam for her marriage, however, the actress had to bear the brunt of her step from netizens.

Love Jihad appears to be a thriving business for Muslims. Hindu actresses are slyly trapped in the veil of love, and converted. Then they get into nikkah and after a few years they are given talaq. The Hindus in India should boycott halal meat and the TV shows and films where male Muslim actors are prominent. Yes, if this retaliation done with resolve then Muslim hegemony, which is predatory, shall disappear. The families of the Hindu/Sikh girls/women must also be brought under the scanner for raising their girl in the liberal way. Social ostracization of these converted muslimah is they way forward. Add to that list Dipika Kakar and others. These women are enemies of the Hindus. Can anyone fathom how they could act so treacherously by sleeping around with Muslim men?
