He is a kind of narrowminded persons who have some kind of complexity in their minds in such a free and democratic country. There is no differene whether the girl or the boy is muslim.Salman khan is no good for aihwayra not because of his religion but because of his deeds.
Religion matters only for poor people and middle class people. For rich people money matters. Only the poor class people keep fighting for all these things
I don't agree with Hritik's comment about marrying a muslim. Millions loved him and took him to the top of the world that we have some one who have broken the Khan monoply in the industry,but his marrying a muslim broke millions heart and thus today Hritik is nowere in the top,SO PEOPLE CAN MAKE AND BREAK A STAR. DEEPAK
There is strongly mentioned in the Quran that a Muslim male CANNOT marry anyone outside the religion but Christians or Jews. And it is all together prohibited for any Muslimah to marry any non muslim. But doesn't seem like people today even care about what they are asked to follow.
It is naive to believe that religion does not matter. Otherwise, why media went wild and mad when Salman and Aishwayra had comforted together. I agree that Salman had a bad-boy image but the public and media cried whale-heartedly and special pieces were written suggesting that Salman is not a good match for Aishwarya.
Yes religion does not matter when a muslim girl marry a hindu boy. But when a hindu girl marry or intends to marry a muslim boy, everything begins to be different and changing.

If this is the only incidence in which muslim girl married a hindu boy - by retaining her religious identity. But, if I go in your line - can I give a list of hindu girls marrying muslim boys and not retaining their religious identity. It is from great secular (?) Mughal emperor Akbar to cricketer Pataudi, & all latest Khan's of the hindi film industry. Good point Aslam - I know you read some part of Sharia. I request the media not to disturb the privacy of these people - make those marriages as ideal. Allowing Suzane to retain her religious identity is really great.

What does Mr. Aslam want to say about Shahrukh and Gauri? Don't try to create issues where there aren't any. Salman was a maniac and that is why he was not fit for Aishwarya. Aishwarya was a fool to be drawn towards a person like Salman. Both of them had their own faults. But, where does the question of Hindu - Muslim arise? Do you people know a word called 'Communal Harmony'? I bet you don't.

Dear Aslam, before Salman and Aishwarya, there were atleast the other two of the trinity of Khan stars, Aamir and Shahrukh happily linked with Hindu girls. Of course, you may not be remembering them, just like some other prominent names like Saif, Azhar-ud-din, to name just the youngsters and contemporaries! May be just that you are unnecessarily hurting yourself.

I think aslam your comment is base less. salman him self like controvercy. why don't aamir and sharukh have same proble, THis is not hindu -muslim part. important is how you maintain your life. salman is not at all exapmle. are Amir and slaman's wife muslim/ so i can't accept your point. adn stop spreading that commuinal part.

your comparison is very wrong Aslam, people did not cry when Rakhi married gulzar, sharmila pataudi,........why would people cry only for aishwarya??? you are comparing a sycopath, drunkard, mannerless brat with a decent guy. think about it.

To many people it does, and to many people it don't. I think it was because many girls all over the world liked Hrithik, that the media made such a hype over his marriage to Suzanne. But to me their is only one God and all religions worship Him in a different way. All rivers lead to the sea. All religious paths lead to the creator. If a Hindu, be a good Hindu, if a Christian, be a good Christian, if a Muslim, be a good Muslim.

Dear Aslam I think its just the opposite i.e. it doesn't matter when a Hindu girl marries a Muslim boy Azaruddin-Sangeeta,Aamir Khan-Reena,Sharukh-Gauri,Mohsin Khan-Reena Roy,Ustad Amjad Ali-Subbalaxmi,Pataudi-Sharmila,Saif-Amrita,Arbaaz-Malaika,Lakdawala-Aditi Govitrikar,Sohail Khan-Seema etc What do u say now

Hello Sir, Haven't you heard of these Hindu girls becoming part of the "Khandan"? Gauri Shah Rukh Khan, Reena Aamir Khan, Ratna Naseeruddin Shah, Saroj Khan, Parvati Khan, Sunidhi Chauhan Khan, Sangeeta Bijlani Azharuddin and many more... So, don't fuss over your Salman bhai.

Aslam.......... Religion doens't matter. You all are talking abt Hindu and Muslim. what abt Christains? In fact I know a Indian christain girl and a Pakistan Muslim guy who are together? How abt that? Religion and even country doesn't matter as long as they are in love as humans and respect and comfortable with each other. There's nothing abt religion in the issue btw Ash and Sallu. We all know that and we need not discuss that. But I really don't know why this articale is been pubhlished. May be to give an example,right? We need to encourage mixed marriages. India is a land of rich and varied culture and we should be voting for it.And Hrithik is now-a -days-so-called-idol. Khuda Hafiz. Jai Matha dee Praise the lord.

Aslam,if you were a girl, would you marry a person who kills endangered species and human beings alike,beats up her girlfriend and drives drunk ! It is people like you who bring religion everywhere.Salman was disliked not becuase of his religion but his personality.Aamir Khan married a Hindu and so did Shahrukh.To counter your point,did the media create any trouble for them?By the way Salmans brother is married to a Hindu as well.Please dont look at a person with tainted eyes.

Didn't Sharukh Khan and Aamer Khan marry Hindu girls? Were there any problems then. What about Sharmila getting married to Pataudi, and what about director Shaad Ali (Saathiya fame) parents Muzaffar Ali (Umrao Jaan fame) and Subhashini Ali? Don't post some stupid stuff on the internet, stupid.

Aslam,
Importance of religion in life depends on the two ppl & their parents or relatives. It doesnt depend which girl(hindu/muslim) marries which boy(Hindu/muslim). There's shahrukh-gauri, aamir-reena, saif-amrita, azhar-sangita, pataudi-sharmila.What do you want to say of all these couples? I'm sure that most hindu women end up converting to Islam when marrying a muslim which is not the case otherwise. That shows who's more tolerant of others.

Completely agree with Aslam, religion soooo matters.... Its a way of life, if two different religions join, the future generations 2 come will either choose whichever one they prefer or they'l all be confused atheists. People should stick to their own religions to avoid conflict, and to prevent heartache to parents... Their are an endless amount of people to love out there of ur own religion, so there is no need 2 forget ur nearest and darest, 4 some1 new.

Well, if your theory is true, Aslam, why is Shah Rukh Khan being celebrated for having a hindu wife? The reason everyone dislikes Salman (people like me!) is because of his "bad-boy-image". I assure you that he would be disliked even if his name were Shankar or Simon!
