Kareena Kapoor is reportedly tying the knot with Saif Ali Khan Oct 16, but the actress is not confirming it and has also refused to answer a question whether she would be converting to Islam after marriage.

However, Saif's mom, actress Sharmila Tagorehas confirmed that the two are getting married Oct 16, according to media reports. But Kareena is tight-lipped about it.

"You all know everything, then why are you asking," Kareena said to reporters during the promotion of Heroine here Wednesday.

Asked why was she holding back her wedding date, she said that the "only thing is that we have not decided where it will be and when it will be. So, whenever we will decide, we shall talk."

Sharmila Tagore had converted to Islam when she married cricketer Mansur Ali Pataudi, donning the name Ayesha Begum.

When asked whether she will convert into Islam post her marriage, the 32-year-old Kareena said: "That's a very wrong question, which I will not be answering."

She also refused to elaborate on her wedding plans. "No I can't. I am so sorry. (But) This is not a press conference about my wedding." But she confirmed that she will wear red as "red is my favourite colour and you all will see me in a red sari."

Media reports claim that on her wedding day Kareena will wear Sharmila Tagore's bridalsharara and for other ceremonies she has zeroed on Manish Malhotra's creations.

not sure if already posted then freely lock the topic.
Anywho i found the comments more interesting than the main article.😆

People keep dragging sharmila converted and so should she. But they forget, all royalties and royal titles got abolished in 1977. So The Nawab is just a title and nothing more and as such there is no responsibility to convert.
nevetheless comments are so interesting.

I never can understand ...how someone will marry a person who asks them to change their religion ...and what kind of a person changes their religion just for another person...

I don't think so...gauri is still a Hindu...I had read somehere tht they have the Hindu pooja place and the Holy Quoran side by side in their home and the kids pray to both...
Why has religion to do anything with marriage though...isn't religion supposed to be personal??

well if you are doing civil marriage conversion doesn't matter. And as long as you are legally married, the legal marriage dat is counted, the functions are just what functions. But its their choice.
srk gauri did a civil marriage and i think hindu function i think.
I think for christians , if you must marry in a church, you should belong to the religion, jews too and islam too usually say conversion is necessary.
that is not a rule however. There r lots of liberal people.
However, for some archaic rules and traditions, some placed conversion is must. Sharmila had to convert because Mansoor ali khan was still the official nawab and held other religious posts and the seminary refused to let him asusme his title.
But things have changed since then. Nawab or whatever people mention is just a title and does not exist on pen or paper. So conversion is not necessary, just a matter of choice if at all.

Muslims are not allowed to marry a non muslim . . . If Kareena converts into Islam, that will be great 😃

This is India, a secular country. Muslims marry non-muslims all the time. Some convert, some don't. More power to anyone who doesn't want to. What use is a conversion, if internally you feel more connected to the religion you were born into? Look at Salma, Salman's Mom. She converted but still practices all traditions, customs, religious festivals of Hindus. She's still a Hindu inside.

Religion is your connection to God. What does marrying someone have to do with it? Everyone should be free to practice whichever religion they want. This marrying---converting thing is stupid. I hope Saif doesn't ask Kareena to convert. It'd be sad if he does.
