Oh okay my bad. Even so, I doubt his beliefs are that strong or that his day to day life is dictated by his religion. A Muslim yes but a religious or practicing one? I dunno about that. Even if his father had him practicing Islam from an early age, that doesn't necessarily mean that Saif continued to practice it like that in adulthood. I have no idea how it is over there but Muslim parents generally name their kids together, with each other's consent and neither spouse's choice takes precedence. Names are selected after much discussion and deliberation. If Kareena was coerced and her opinion not given any importance then that's sad. Kareena I get may be weak in front of Saif but Amrita is a strong woman so why were her kids given Muslim names? Amrita must have had a say no?
They might have been coerced with all the Nawabi khandaan BS.Coercion can also be psychological, not necessarily physical or threatening. Also, patriarchy is still strong in our country, most people think the kds must follow their fathers' paths.
Do you seriously think a Hindu or Sikh woman (like Amrita was) would naturally come up with hardcore Muslim names such as Ibrahim and Taimur?
