Kareena Kapoor believes in ‘feeling of love’ which, she feels, can happen between two people regardless of caste, creed, or religion.
Therefore, the actress doesn’t relate to the concept of ‘Love Jihad’ and says that she never believed in such theories. ‘I believe only in the feeling of love,’ Kareena, who is married to actor-filmmaker Saif Ali Khan, told IANS when asked about Love Jihad, which is allegedly a Muslim project of luring Hindu girls into marriage and religious conversion. ‘Saif has a very broad perspective and he also shared his perspective on ‘Love Jihad’ (via an open letter). He married a Hindu, which is me, and we had a civil marriage,’ said the actress.
‘I feel that love is something that you can’t term. There is passion, there is lust... there are so many things. It can happen between two human beings,’ said Kareena.
‘Now if somebody is Hindu and he or she starts loving a Muslim person, you can’t stop them. You cannot ask somebody, ‘Are you a Muslim or are you a Hindu?’ and then fall in love. ‘Love is a feeling, it’s an emotion. That’s why I don’t believe in Love Jihad. I believe in the feeling of love,’ added the 34-year-old.
Co-incidentally her next film with Salman Khan Bajrangi Bhaijan is also about a Brahmin girl and Muslim boy. The actress is in the capital on dual purpose - first she launched the latest bathing range of Vivel titled Love & Nourish and now she is busy shooting for Kabir Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijan in the city.
The Bajrangi Bhaijan team started shooting Wednesday in the bylanes of Chandni Chowk. ‘I am looking forward to working with Salman. We are like family. Before my marriage, he worked with me and now he is working with me after my marriage, so I am excited,’ said the actress who was seen with Salman in Bodyguard.
