Television actress Devoleena Bhattacharjee who has married to a muslim boy named Shanwaz Shaikh is being criticised on the pretext of marrying a muslim boy and one of the Twitter user named her marriage a love jihad.
Responding to it, the actor clarified called her husband a ‘true Indian Muslim.’ Devoleena Bhattacharjee on The Kerala Story: ‘My husband is Muslim, he didn’t find it offensive or against his religion’
It all started when the right-wing leader, Sadhvi Prachi, posted pictures from a screening of The Kerala Story in Haridwar, Uttarakhand. She wrote, “‘The Kerala Story’ was shown free of cost to daughters in Haridwar.” In the comment section, someone talked about Devoleena and mentioned her husband Shanwaz Shaikh. The same user also wrote, as per Google translation, “Love Jihad is like that.”
Replying to it, Devoleena Bhattacharjee tweeted, “Arey Khan saab mujhe bulaane ko zaroorat nahi padhi. Main aur mere husband pehle hi dekh kar agaye the The Kerala Story aur bohot hi acchi lagi hum dono ko hi. TRUE INDIAN MUSLIM naam suna hai kya ? Mere pati unme se hi hai jo galat ko galat kehne ki taqat aur himmat dono rakhte hai (There was no need to invite me to the film screening as I and my husband had already seen it and we both liked it very much. Have you heard about a true Indian Muslim? My husband is one of them who can take a stand against wrong things and we both have the same guts).”
