Meet Hindu actress, who converted to Islam for marriage, later accused her husband of beating her, said she was brainwashed; name is…, husband was…
This actress, who gained fame from ' Bade Achhe Lagte Hain', has often made headlines more for her personal life than her professional achievements. She has been married twice, but neither marriage lasted. Her first marriage, to Bharat Narsinghani, ended within just a year. It was an abusive marriage.
Later, she married Farhan Mirza, for which she converted to Islam, but it also did not last long. The actress made serious allegations against Farhan, accusing him of both sexual and mental harassment.
In an interview, the actress stated that she does not regret changing her religion but is happy to have returned to Sanatan Dharma. She explained that after marriage, she learned about Islam and found answers to many questions. However, she also revealed that she was brainwashed into changing her religion and was asked not to worship her own God, something she now reflects on without regret.
We are talking about actress Chahatt Khanna. In an interview with Telly Talk India, she opened up on growing up in a spiritual and religiously after marriage to Farhan Mirza, son of screenwriter Shahrukh Mirza. However, she added that she was confused after her marriage and divorce, saying that she was 'thankful' to return to her roots now. When asked if she was brainwashed into converting, Chahatt said, 'Yes, in a way, yeah, I would say that. But I don't know for their good or my good, but that is why I said, thankfully, I am back home.'
Khanna said she was warned by many people not to convert and had to face many restrictions after she did. 'A lot of people did not want me to convert but I did because I wanted to do nikaah. Not that I was forced to convert but I did. And after that I was definitely told 'Don't worship your god, probably that is not the correct way, this is the correct way' and I being a lost child followed that way. I think it was fine; it was not that bad. But then, I am happy, I am in a much happier space, I have more wisdom, I know what I am doing. I know what is correct and what is not, and I am living a very conscious life,' said Chahatt.
Chahatt Khanna began her showbiz career at 16 with a chocolate ad in 2002. The same year, she made her acting debut with the TV show Sachi Baat Sabhi Jag Jane . She has worked in movies like Thank You and Prassthanam. In 2006, she married businessman Bharat Narsinghani but divorced the following year, accusing him and his family of physical and emotional abuse. In 2013, Chahatt married Farhan Mirza, with whom she has two daughters.
