New Delhi: While reading a story or a romantic novel, we imagine ourselves getting into the shoes of the main characters and living dreamy life.
The term “Love”, its definition, its power, its sufferings, and its consequences, and everything that is written or is shown in the movies are dreamy to experience in the real life. But people in some cases do experience and live a dreamy life beyond its consequences. There are some celebs who have sacrificed their religion to get their love without caring about their reputations, fame, or stardom.
Following is the list of some Indian actresses who converted to Islam for marriage:
1. Sharmila Tagore
