Sara Khan, renowned for her role in Bidaai, has responded to online criticism following her marriage to Krish Pathak, son of Ramayan actor Sunil Lahri.

Sara’s post on Instagram

In a video statement on Instagram, Sara Khan expressed her appreciation to those who have shown her support, while also acknowledging the negativity she has received. She captioned her post with a message of gratitude and love. Her husband, Krish Pathak, responded with a heartwarming comment, quoting, "Tujh mein rab dikhta hai.... Yaara mein kya karu," showing his love and support.

Highlighting cultural background

In the video, Sara highlighted the different cultural backgrounds she and Krish come from, while also emphasizing their shared values. She stated, "Krish and I belong from different cultures but we believe both our religions taught us love. Our families taught us to respect others first and not to hurt anyone."

Plea from fans

Sara also made a strong plea for respect towards all religions. She said, "Any religion does not teach you to put any other religion or beliefs down or disrespect anyone. We are sharing our marital status with our well-wishers, not asking for anyone's approval because we already have the approval of our families and the law."

Sara further added, "Any relation with my God is mine, completely mine. My God has only taught me to love and I will only do that. No religion teaches you to say bad words or intervene in someone's life." She ended by sharing their plans to honor both traditions, stating they would have a "Nikah and a traditional Pahadi Shadi with proper pheras."

Fans reaction to the video

The video quickly sparked a range of reactions from fans. While some resonated with Sara's message, others offered critical comments. One fan wrote, "I agree with Sara, religion doesn’t teaches us hate," another one wrote, "if they both are happy, who are we to point a finger." Conversely, another fan wrote, "I am against interfaith marriage, this is wrong." Fourth one penned,"I don’t believe in this concept, everyone should marry in their own religion." Many mocked her for marrying a Hindu boy. She received love and hate both in the comments section.

Sara also posted a cryptic Instagram story, saying, "The best decision I ever made was to be quiet... I'm moving forward, free and at peace."

About Sara and her relationship with Krish

Sara Khan, known for her roles in shows like Sapna Babul Ka... Bidaai, Preet Se Bandhi Ye Dori Ram Milaayi Jodi, and Sasural Simar Ka, recently got married. The actress and actor-producer Krish Pathak, who have been together for a year, made their relationship official with a court ceremony on October 6.

Regarding their relationship, Sara disclosed that she connected with Krish on a dating app a year ago, feeling an instant connection upon seeing his photo. They began chatting and met the next day, where she expressed her desire for a serious relationship and a commitment to settling down. Krish, who has appeared in POW: Bandi Yuddh Ke and Yeh Jhuki Jhuki Si Nazar, characterized their romance as a modern, Gen-Z love story. He mentioned that both were recovering from previous heartbreaks and admitted that he had not previously considered marriage, as he was raised by a single mother and lacked a traditional upbringing around the concept of marriage.

Sara previously married Ali Merchant in an Islamic wedding on Bigg Boss 4 in 2010 but divorced him in 2011.
