KAREENA KAPOOR’S CONVERSION TO ISLAM
The rumors about Kareena Kapoor’s marriage to an actor Saif Ali Khan and her conversion to Islam has agitated the minds of Indians (Hindus) living in USA.
Kareena Kapoor is one of the top most actresses in the film industry in Bollywood. She is also one of the prettiest women in India. Many Indians (Hindus) look to her as a role model and a scion of the Kapoor Khandan which is held in high esteem in the country.
With her runaway success in movies, Kareena is in an enviable position. But the status also brings social responsibility and accountability. It appears that this woman is out to insult Hindu nation by marrying a Muslim man and converting to Islam in spite of the fact that the great doyens of Mumbai film industry, Prithviraj Kapoor, Raj Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor and her mother Babita Shivdasani – all of them – had been driven from Islamic Pakistan at the time of Partition because they were Hindus.
We concede that it is Kareena’s personal decision to marry whomsoever she wants. Our main objection is to her conversion to Islam. Most Hindus consider conversion to other religions as an aggression on the Hindu Samaj. We also fail to understand why she has to convert to Islam and why not the other way round with Saif converting to Hinduism!
The conversion of Hindu people to Islam has many serious political connotations and ramifications for our ancestral country. We cannot forget that it was the rise in the Muslim population in India that gave rise to the demand for Pakistan and resulted in the vivisection of India.
Bollywood is controlled by Muslim underworld. They use threats and violence to meet their ends. It is also not clear whether Kareena is being blackmailed by some of these people into converting.
Hindu actresses should also learn a lesson or two from the miserable plight of Monica Bedi, an innocent Punjabi girl, who was lured into a trap by gangster Abu Salem. She was arrested in Lisbon in 2002 and finally landed in Bhopal jail.
Hindu parents should also note that it is the ignorance of Hindu History and lack of Hindu sanskaras that is playing havoc with our Hindu Samaj.
Hindus are watching with suppressed anguish the conversion of many Hindu actresses to Islam. Hindus believe that their catholicity and respect for other religions is being misused and mistaken for their weakness.
Today, Hindus are in a glowering mood and feel being pushed to the wall. I am afraid one day the entire Hindu Samaj may decide that ‘enough is enough’ and may rise in revolt against the exploiters of our society.

Every individual has an inalienable right to pursue their own way of life. This leads to peace, progress and well being for all. How about we work toward an India that is a bastion of freedom in every way.
Worry a little less about making people live the life you want and a bit more about helping people live the life they want.
Why doesn't Kareena talk to Saif and show him the example of Shah Rukh and his Hindu wife. SRK never forced anything on his wife. But then SRS and SAK are perhaps not in the same class. While SRK has remained steady in his marriage, SAK divorced his loving wife for no apparent reason making even his mother unhappy.
As Mr. Kataria has pointed out, Kareena should be ashamed of her decision to convert to Islam, particularly given the background of how her family had to escape from Pakistan otherwise they would have been lynched and their daughters raped as happened to almost every Hindu who remained there. She is insulting not only her own family but other Indian Hindus. May Lord give her some wisdom.
Hi iam non idian ,but i have to say something. if kareen convered to islam there is nothing wrong. i think if she convered to islam she has choice. i think islam spreading all over the worl if you guys not mistaken! you do not have to follow what you are parents were!!!!!!!!!!!
Kareena should test Saif's love for her, by asking him to convert to Hinduism.
why always hindus have to convert into islam by getting married to islamic person? Thats biggest weakness of our hindus & if this will continue, we will totally lost our culture-traditions one day thats true. she must not convert to islam. If she will, we hindus must have to realise that we are losing control on our overwhelming hindu country. Just think how many hindus have converted into islam in bollywood industry & how many of them have really been appreciated.
Muslims are rising in india in every industry from politics to sports. Not just rising but mixing huge amounts of hindus with them to support them. We hindus have to be united. Plz dont repeat mistakes been done years ago & not let to repeat our brothers!!! Jai Hind
Contact me on (vagahsiyaken@gmail.com) to save our country our people, we will plan out somethig!!! plz dont just ignore it think about it!!!!!!!!!1
what kareena is doing is absolutely right, she is obeying islam nd she has truley realised the great essence of islam.... u guys have mistaken her.
Well Kareena is neither one of the most people in India nor she is a icon for the country. It hardly matters whom she marries!
if ppl like her convert to Islam than it is good for Hinduism
I think your blog was quite narrow-minded, if I may say so.
Not only have you NOT given a reason as to why Kareena shouldn't convert to Islam, but also portrayed your thinking as to being that of a bigot.
Now, if Kareena was to shift her identity to being a Pakistani, then maybe it would make some sense for you to revolt against it. But she is converting to a religion, which is her personal matter. It's not a national issue, but a way of life for her. She has a right to live her life, without any orders from anyone. If she's found the True Path, let her be. Have you any proof that Saif forced her to convert? No.
So please pick your bigot roots up from the ground and open your mind.
..
Hindu or Muslim, they do not follow any religion. they are just actors in the film and in their private life so do not get carried away about converting Islam, remember Islam is a very strict religion. iT IS NOT JUST A RELIGION BUT WAY OF LIFE SO FILM ACTRESSES CAN NOT FIT IN TO IT. THEY CONSUME ALCOHOL IN PUBLIC, DO VULGUR AND SEXY STUFF AND ALL IMMORAL THINGS WHICH REFRAIN BY RELIGION, THEY WOULD DO IT IN PUBLIC.
Rajesh,
It is a communal forces giving the story a face of comwaad anti Islam comments.
If this is true then we should stop watching her movies!...why hindus always convert?...starting from an early age only hindus converted like Allama Iqbal ( a kasmiri pundit), Jinnah ( a rajput bhatia)...and crores of pakistani population in sindh and punjab.( they are rajputs, jats, gujjars,butt or bhatt etc). What the hell is there in Islam?..its a religion that says kill all those who dont follow islam...its so intolerable religion!...why people are interested there?...our Hinduism is the oldest of all and we do respect all religions..not like the mullahs!...thats why there are no hindus ( hardly) in pakistan!!!...i am from lahore and i know what has happened to our ancestors!....in my view if any person in India (hindus) converts to any other religion...they must be forbidden with any rights as a citizen of India!
Jai Shree Ram
Ha ha ha....Converting to Islam to marry Saif Ali khan...what a joke. That girl must be screwed up in her head to go after that guy. Hes been married once and chucked his wife out and went with a bunch of other women all of whom he chucked out indiscriminately. The last was the italian actress Rosa i think. Anyways, i think shes real dumb to have left a really nice boy like shahid and run after an older guy. She would get her piece of the cake when shes chucked out too one day by that man with no moral scruples..mr saif khan. And i think girls like these who are attracted to vile womanizing muslim men should indeed convert to islam and live a life of subjugation and depravity and be happy to be used as sex objects and islamic baby making machines. Atleast that would clean up hinduism of the less desired practictioners like kareena who probably dont know a thing about hinduism and doesnt want to know. The loft ideals of hinduism cant be even comprehended unless ur heart is pure and u are truly seeking the truth. islams concepts are childish and depraved. their heaven promises sweet water and date trees ? what happened to apple ? oh forgot no apple grew in arabia during mohammeds time he he, and huris who are 100 feet tall virgins waiting to please men who go to heaven ? how bout muslim women ? what do they do when they go to heaven ? engage in lesbianism with the huris ? or do they have virgin men who are hundred feet tall to please those women too ? what utter depravity. I think its the only religion which tells its practitioners that they cant fuck their sisters and mothers. Coz apparently before mohammed told them they used to do it. he he. piss be upon mohammed and his ilk.
actresses and actors do not belong to any religion,the so called freedom by actresses is exploitation and a step towards destructive development of india.working in movies is a sin,because it is exploitation of men and women in the name of modernisation.this world is a fairy tale and the unending life starts hereafter.we muslims do not force religion on non believers but just want to assure that every human is aware of the truth.i erge all of you to discover the truth of islam yourself,so that u work for a place in heaven.ask yourself a question(what happens to me if i die tomorrow and come to know after death that islam is the truth)no one will hear u then coz the time will be over.just be logical friends,we want all humanity to end in heaven,which is only possible if you rivert to islam and follow the principles of it.may allah show u the right path.

Read excellent new article on the same subject.
Saif and Kareena: Religion and Marriage
These days, Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan’s romance is a hot subject for Bollywood. Saif’s mother and a very renowned actress Sharmila Tagore converted to Islam for her marriage to Mansoor Ali Khan, changed her name to Begum Ayesha Sultana, gave Muslim names to all their 3 kids and children were raised as Muslims only. Saif's first wife, Amrita Singh, had also the same religious fate, gave Abrahamic names to their kids, and later got talaak (divorce). Considering Islam played a major role in Saif’s upbringing, will Kareena have the similar religious fate as Sharmila and Amrita or will Kareena have the choice to remain a proud Hindu to enjoy her interfaith marriage with equality?

I dont want to say anything about kareena because they do not have any religion.But ya why these people are underestimating islam i dont think any one has the right to say anything about islam.Hindus dare to tell anything about islam.It's the best religion in the world.
Is just fine for Kareena to marry whom ever she wants. But if she converts to Islam to Marry Saif Ali Khan then the Question will arise Why can't Saif converts to Hinduism to Marry Kareena. So they will be better off marrying each other without conversion . That will be Indian wedding. But if Kareena converts to Islam Then all of us should boycott Kareen and Saif for ever. May be they should be banned and Indian citizenship removed.
every person has his /her own right to pursue any religion untill he is not forced to do so!!!
if kareena is getting converted to musim y the hell u jackass have problems...u guys just have a drum of hinduism which u keep on beating all the time but better is to know ur own religion...u guys are hindu untill u are not converted otherwise u can follow ne reigion and u will be hindu and regarding saif even he should search for his identity whether he is a muslim or not coz born in a muslim famiy does not mean u r a muslim like in case of a hindu............
I thought Hinduism is a religion which tolerates all other religions because it believes god is one but comes in many aspects. What happened to that ? It seems that a lot of hatred comes from political reasons, not religious ones.
India was supposed to be this nation where all religions are welcome and all people live in harmony regardless of religious creed. Judging by some of your comments here ( coming from Hindus as well as Muslims ) I'm disappointed to see that my impression was wrong. Keep hating each other people. A lot of good in the world will come of that.
Even if it's true and Kareena will convert to Islam, I'm sure it's just a formality so Saif can marry her. Look at Hema Malini and Dharmendra, they converted to Islam but just so they can get divorced from their previous spouses and marry each other. Were their respective careers over ? Of course not. Do you see them practicing Islam ? Of course not. Did people loose respect for Hema ? As I understand she is in Indian politics as well. I'm sure Kareena will not convert out of conviction and in her heart will not forsake her Hindu believes. Is that not what actually matters in the end ? What she believes in her heart ?
lavanya ,ajay....i dnt knw where u r from.u people r black spots to ur hindu religion.its not the matter of converting into ISLAM or HINDUISM its the matter of democracy.in country like india every one has right to live acc.to their own beliefs n faith.lastly girls name wll b changed to boys aftr marriage in india.place this in mind n comment.u basterdes
Sidd:
I just want to add one thing dat as per Islam-conversion is mandatory, if somebody wants to marry a muslim boy or a girl.That`s why SRK marriage is not authenticated by islam.. Why dont non-muslim think before getting attached to muslims..
I am muslim and was engaged with non-muslim girl.She was ready to convert but I am not going to marry her because I know this will arise big mess..
But now we have self understanding of not to continue our relations..
Hi rakesh, u mother fucker,
may be my anciesters were hindus and slowly they have understood what is islam and reverted themselves to islam, The Prophet Muhammed(peace be upon him) who always prayed to god for well beings of his followers, he neither asked any thing for his family nor for himself and he alway tought us how to live in this bloody temporary world which may colapse at any time if the god get anger on people like you. Islam will not kill those people who will not follow islam, islam always guide people to go in a right path till they reach heaven, even though those people like you are not ready to accept the truth, then islam says that if you have mind eat a fresh n jucy fruits in heaven or else eat a stinky shit in hell.
Try to understand what is islam and think before you comment on this.
Hey Islamboy,
I dun want to say anything about your religion (Islam) but here is one thing you should know..don't imagine the thing like the whole world will convert or what...I accept that nowadays there are many muslim all over the world but have you already seen what you are religious about? If not yet, you should go and see....
thts kareena kapoor's own decision,n should be left to her,n nobody has right to pretend her from anything,islam is the religion of peace,which enlightens with truth,one has to condemn people who oppose the followers of islam...hence it should have be left upto one's choice,without interrupting in her own spiritualityness of hope....
y do rumours will be come in india,when a muslim is yet to be married to a non-muslim,ridiculous..its our country which has given wisdom to every1...
dear friends...
if a person practices islam, den he will never hurt anyboady, never be immodest...never enter the film industry, they never boose...etc etc.... and my dear friends from all the casts... our charecter desides wht we are... this all coz we dnt have the fear of death,... wht ever the comment given by the hindu brothers n muslim brothers...do u think the problem will be solved if india turns to hindu contry or muslim contry?
please dnt teach dis to your loved children, coz they are the precious flowers of tommorrow who are gng to bloom our india....our nation. concentrate ur ideas in to ur future developments... no body can beat us,,,... we are indians..... jai hind.
dear ambarish and rakesh, for ur kind attention, making fun of an individual is prohibitted in hinduism also... please respect your religion atleast, and try following it insted of pulling the legs.... and i request you both to read the quran translation...which will get you out from the misconception about islam.
these film stars remember god only for the film releases... culture less.. they are redy to go to any extent to make them a super star.... and we are the foolish loosers... nothing matters them... its better we understand it much before...
There is no mistake Kareena Kapoor converting into Islam,its her wish.I think she has done a right job.
We muslims are hardly showing any reaction by the news of kareena's convertion..coz all film stars of recent times are having a muslim name ..thay r nt muslims as they dodnot follow the religion..so hell with kareena or saif or SRK..all of them are KAFIRs....
A muslim is one who obey the almighty ALLAH and follow the Sunnah of Mohammad (peace be on him)..and perform all the FARZ ..
Some people asks....why can't Saif convert to Hinduism as opposed to Kareena convert to Islam...well, if you read and understand the content of the Holy Quran...Allah (ie. God Almighty) condemns those who associate partners with Him (ie. other gods), regardless whether he is a Christian, a Taoist, a Shintoist, a Buddhist as well as a Hindu and if a person does it willingly, he will be thrown straight to HELL fire...if Kareena converts to Islam (in a sincere and pure intentions), all her past sins will be forgiven (provided she follows the true teachings of Islam) and if she dies and God blesses her, she will be one of the dwellers of Paradise!
I hope I make everyone clear on this matter and STOP criticizing Islam if you don't understand the religion very well and start doing some researches and asks questions more from the approved scholars. It's better rather than making false accusations and wrong judgments just to make you look less educated. Have more respect on other peoples' faith and believe system. If you don't like it, just keep it to yourself.
Thanks!
all of religious made by human... n humanity is the god, ishwar, n Allah.
Kareena is absolutely right but Islam is never.
sofiona... well said
Hello! I just wanted to say that Kareena Kapoors whole family is famous! From grandfather Raj Kapoor and Cousin Ranbir Kapoor. They are all hindu and none of them converted. Kareen kapoor has said she is hindu and will stay hindu. saif ali khan married a hindu before her and dodnt force her to convert.and saif ali khans moms is hindu.
Don't worry Mr. Barain, converting to islam by marrying a muslim man is not enough for Islam, to become a true muslim you have to be a practising muslim what I don't think Kareena is neither is Saif Ali Khan.
narrain, first of all, whether its kareena, saif or any khans, to enter islam they have to leave their filmy careers,dancing and singing or touching other sex is totally haraam in islam, and people who glorify it are not counted as a muslims, and so any actor in this creed is a non muslim and you can count all filmy khans and other muslims as your own peoples...secondly Brother Narrain, whether its monica bedi or any other girls, who knowingly marries someone, associated with wrong elemants, will end up having a miserable life...islam means surrundering your will to almighty god allah, the creator, the omnipresent...
Allah is the Arabic word for "one God". Allah is not God of Muslims only. He is God of all creations, because He is their Creator and Sustainer The word "Islam" means peace and submission. Peace means to be at peace with yourself and your surroundings and submission means submission to the will of God. A broader meaning of the word "Islam" is to achieve peace by submitting to the will of God.
This is a unique religion with a name which signifies a moral attitude and a way of life. Judaism takes its name from the tribe of Juda, Christianity from Jesus Christ, Buddhism from Goutam Buddha and Hinduism from Indus River. However, Muslims derive their identity from the message of Islam, rather than the person of Muhammed (P), thus should not be called "Muhammadans".
Islam emphasizes modesty. No person should be perceived as a sex object. There are certain guidelines both for men and women that their dress should neither be too thin nor too tight to reveal body forms. For men, they must at least cover the area from the knee to navel and for women, their dress should cover all areas except the hands and face. The veil is not essential.
dear ashfaq every religion has good teaching so as the islam. but the problem with islam is that it can not tolerate others faith. there are Christianity they live peacefully with their nieghbour but islam found it difficult to live because
in islam it is not allowed to attend other faith celebration but other religion permits intermixing
secondly according to islam it is the duty of a true muslim to fight with non believers until they accept islam
so my dear friend these are the reason thats why people of other religion sees islam with frightening eyes. many parsis have to leave their homeland due to the cruelty of muslims rulers . they have been given choice either choose islam or death
i am not criticize islam but the fact itself reveals its nature
it is also said the muhammad(may be peace upon hin) kill the jews clan leader and marry with his wife forcefulyy. is it right
so my dear friend we have to show what our religion is with our deeds
not by holy quaran or with bible
my name is ilias converted to christianity
"BE CURIOUS NOT JUDGEMENTAL"
I MEAN BE CURIOUS TO UNDERSTAND QURAN,BHADWAD GITA,BIBLE OR ALL OTHER BOOKS RELATED TO RELIGION.THEN JUDGE WHICH IS RIGHT AND WHICH IS WRONG.ATLAST U WILL FIND QURAN IS RIGHT.
by marring some muslim is not enough ,,,,, the person should accept in one god and should understand that god... explained by messenger(mohd saw) way and should practice it...
even saif is not true muslim .. and as far known by meadia... he smokes and drinks .and he also dates modles and makes affairs... then how he .. 'practicing the religion ...
when two people love each other , they do not think about their religions or culture . they always imagine to be together every single second and after that they think something diferent . i mean when the people start to think marriage or meet their family. i want to ask you guys, why Muslims do not convert to Hinduism? have you ever asked you that? is there anybody push Hindus convert to islam? i think not . because in all over the world ,every second , a person converts to islam , not only hindu people. so please think about it
you know what, every person just like a small world. All people have different wishes, minds, dreams,hopes etc. maybe this people find their hopes, dreams, wishes in Islam. that is all.
Kareena is going to be another stupid girl like Divya Bharti..She is so beautiful & was very well paired with Shahdi kapoor...Is she dumb y chooosing saif(44 years old, divorce)...If saif can leave amrita singh with his 2 kids after his 10 year of marriage so he can leave Kareena also after spoiling her career..She is stepping towards her end & no come back..History is clear about Hindu muslim wedding are never successful...they r doing it just for conversion...let saif convert to hiduism .they are not loyal warn kareena..Huh he will never do it..It will be loss to bollywood..
Celebrities don't have religion, be it muslim, hindu, sikh or christian etc. So, stop fighting among yourself and relax. The fact is Kareena is supposed to convert to Islam but on the contrary after marriage Soha ali Khan will convert to hindu.
FOOL DEBATE.... JUST PROOF WHICH ONE IS THE BEST, HIDUS OR MUSLIM... BY SPRADING PEACE...
Hahahaha
The seed runs deep too deep when it comes to Hindu\Muslim ideology.
Islam is a bad religion.it only aims to discriminate and conquer.in hinduism we say vasudhaiv kutumbakam -all world is family.but islam treats non-islamic people as kafirs.
In hinduism ,u don't need to convert to marry a hindu as we believe in vasudheiv kutumbakam
ताज्जुब है! एक दो टके की नचनिया के लिए इतनी डिबेट। यार भगवान की कृपा से तो इसे बुड्ढा मिला है, हम इससे अपनी झांटें क्यों सुलगाएं।
Get lost Pork Jin nah's son..
And what if I die tomorrow and come to know that islam is not the truth, then it will have no point in realizing that I have wasted my god gifted life in practising foolish islamic rituals😊....try to understand first what is logic before advising others to be logical , brother!!!
This belief that my religion is best is the most dangerous source of religious intolerance....brother try to realize that others' religions are as good as yours and that attitude can only bring harmony among the various groups of humans who are traditionally followers of different religious faiths.😊
Enter your reply...Absolutely right.
