Actress trolled for marrying a Muslim man; ‘I am a Hindu by birth and…’


Actress Priyamani, who was seen in Manoj Bajpayee’s The Family Man and Shahrukh Khan’s Jawan, recently talked about her marriage in an interview. Priyamani married Mustafa Raj in the year 2017. Priyamani told in the interview how she had to become a victim of trolling after marrying in another religion. Priyamani told that from the day she announced her engagement with Mustafa Raj till today, she has to be a victim of trolling.

Nasty comments came after the engagement announcement

In an interview with Filmfare, Priyamani told that when she got engaged to Mustafa, she was excited to post the status on Facebook. When he posted, he started receiving very bad comments. Priyamani told that people wrote comments on her post like ‘Jihad, Muslims, your children will become terrorists’.

Comments had an impact on Priyamani

The Family Man actress admitted that this incident had an impact on her. He said, it is disappointing, why target the same inter-caste couple? There are many top actors who have married outside their cast and religion. It is not necessary that they have adopted that religion. They simply fell in love with each other regardless of religion. “I don’t understand why there is so much hatred around it.”

Priyamani narrated the story

Referring to an incident, Priyamani said that once she had posted something on the occasion of Eid. Then people said that he had changed his religion and accepted Islam. “How do you know that I have converted? This is my decision. Taking her point forward, she emphasized that she had told her husband before marriage that she would not convert. She had told her husband- “I am a Hindu by birth and will always follow my religion.” Priyamani said that both she and her husband respect each other’s religion.

Priyamani said, “People ask me why I did not post anything on Navratri. I don’t know how to answer this, but these things don’t affect me anymore. I don’t want to pay attention to this negativity.”
