Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut on Sunday came out in support of Kamalrukh Khan, wife of late music composer Wajid Khan, who has opened up about her alleged ordeal within her inter-caste marriage, claiming scare tactics by her in-laws to force her into conversion included taking her to court seeking a divorce.
Born a Parsi, Kamalrukh has revealed in an Instagram post how, till now after Wajid’s death, her in-laws allegedly continue to harass her due to her resistance to convert to Islam, which also destroyed her relationship with her husband when he was alive.
Kamlarukh, a clinical hypnotherapist, stated in the Instagram post that the Anti-conversion Bill should be passed so that women don’t go through this experience and religion doesn’t become a reason for families splitting up.
Actress Kangana Ranaut came in her support on Twitter, she reached out to Prime Minister regarding the protection of minority communities like the Parsis, which “do not seek sympathy by creating tension and are decreasing in numbers.” She also condemned the conversion of religion in inter-caste marriages.
Kangana tweeted from her verified account on Sunday, reacting to Kamalrukh’s claim. The actor wrote, “Parsis are the genuine minority in this nation, they did not come as invaders they came as seekers and gently requested for mother India`s love. Their small population have hugely contributed to the beauty- growth and economy of this nation.”
Kangana further tweeted: She is my friends widow a parsi woman who is being harassed by her family for conversion. I want to ask @PMOIndia minority that don’t do sympathy seeking drama, beheadings, riots and conversions, how are we protecting them? Parsis shockingly decreasing in numbers.
The tweet further reads: Reveals India’s own character as a mother, child who does most drama unfairly gets most attention and advantages. And the one who is worthy, sensitive most caring and deserving ends up being a nanny to the one who keeps throwing fits…. we need to introspect #anticonversionbill.
