At the time of Nikah, Sharmila Tagore also faced the heat of religion

Bollywood stars are very free-minded and they do not pay attention to the things of religion and karma. This is what we usually think about film stars. But it is not so, when they try to break the religion in marriage then they also have to face the same problems as the common man.

Sharmila Tagore has been a very sought-after actress star of her time and Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi was also a big star cricketer of her time. Sharmila ji was from a Hindu family while Tiger Pataudi was from a Muslim family, he was a Nawab. Think, what would have been the face of both of them when they got married?

Sharmila Tagore has expressed her views on the recent discussions regarding the Hindu-Muslim marriage disputes that have started these days. “When we accepted the relationship (in 1968), it was very normal in this town. Because we both belonged to a big family. My family was also big. We told our parents that we were getting married. Some there was no argument.” Remembering the things of those days, Sharmila Tagore says that, but even then things had happened. In his Bombay (Mumbai) home and Calcutta (Kolkata) home, people secretly talked to us about marriage/nikah. There were also some threats at my house in Kolkata. But both of us were stars in our respective fields. No one had tried to come and talk to us face to face. “Our wedding took place under normal circumstances.”

Sharmila Tagore told that later someone came from Delhi to give her protection, said – you need to be given protection, we have come to give you protection. We didn’t need it. We said that we are absolutely fine; we have no problem in Bombay. Our marriage was very decent and peaceful, there was no problem. Although I was afraid that something might go wrong. Sharmila Tagore believes that if two people manage their relationship with understanding then there is no problem. Religion is a system that connects and teaches how to live life.
