Arshad Warsi said this on intercaste marriage

In fact, in an interview,   Arshad Warsi was asked what Maria's family's reaction was when she told them about their love story. Responding to this question, the actor said, "They were a little scared. I'm a Catholic girl and a Muslim boy. Both my in-laws are very innocent. They're immersed in everything, go to church every day, and believe in spirituality. Initially, they were a little scared because they expected Maria to marry a Catholic boy with a government job from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. But she chose a Muslim boy who didn't even have a job. Long hair, a ring on his hand, who knows what he'll do next. But later, they realized there's no one better than me. They're very happy living with me. Now they're old. It was important for them to have someone around to take care of them, so they couldn't leave them alone."

This is how Arshad Warsi and Maria's love story began

When Arshad Warsi was recently asked about his love story, he explained how it all began. "I was invited to a competition at Xavier's College. A friend told me there was a girl with a beautiful smile; so I started looking for someone with a beautiful smile. Then I noticed Maria, and I told her she had a really beautiful smile. She was beautiful and a good dancer. I told her I work in plays; she could come if she wanted to, but she refused. After that, we were doing plays at the same place where she studied. Then she came, saw the plays, and liked the work. She appreciated it. It was a great meeting. Then she also participated in plays. Later, she became my assistant. I found out she liked me, but whenever I asked her out, she would refuse. She turned me down two or three times. But, we realized we liked each other, and then we got married." It's done".
