It was in 2018 when Dipika Kakar Ibrahim had observed her first Ramzan and had celebrated her first Eid post-marriage with her in-laws and husband, Shoaib Ibrahim. Dipika had shared a video in which she was posing with Shoaib, flaunting her Eid mehendi and playfully teasing him with it. But her Eid celebrations didn’t go well with the netizens and soon, people started targeting her for converting her religion. Here’s the video that she had shared and screenshots of the comments:
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Dipika Kakar Ibrahim had reacted to the trolls and people who have targeted her for converting to Islam for marriage. Slamming the haters, Dipika had said, “Why do I owe an explanation to you for my personal decision? Why do you expect that I will live my life on your terms and conditions? How are you even related to me? Just because I’m an actor and you get to know about my personal life doesn’t give you the right to abuse me or slam me whenever you feel like. Shame on you.”
Confirming her conversion to Islam to the Times Of India, Dipika Kakar Ibrahim had then informed, “Joh sach hai woh hai (Truth is the truth). It's true I have done it, but why and when I have done it, don't think it needs to be talked about. I think it is a very personal matter and I don't think I need to talk about it openly in front of the media. For the audience and media, we are actors have always shared everything. All our happy moments we have shared with you all, but this I think is a very personal space and I don't give anyone the permission to enter the space. Definitely, it is true and I am not denying it. I am very happy and proud that I have done it for myself and my happiness. My family was with me in this decision and my intentions were to hurt anyone. This is my decision.” (Also Read: Isha Ambani, Shloka Mehta, Radhika Merchant Were The Showstoppers At A Family Pre-Wedding Bash)
