sharmila tagore did marry nawab pataudi ali khan but never converted into islam and nawab khan accepted her as she was. Nawab Khan was or is not a practicing muslim and he has said that many times during his interviews. he does fear allah, but he doesnt believe in having his wife or daughter in law change theri religions. Same for amrita singh, she never converted due to saif ali khan......Please get your facts straight. i know it feels good to see if someone famous converts into our own religion...... but its not the case here in sharmila tagore's case.

hmmm strange!

coz i read this on wikipedia!! 😉

Born on 8 December 1946 in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India, Sharmila Tagore is a relative of the Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore. Sharmila converted to Islam in order to marry Mansoor Ali Khan, Nawab of Pataudi and officially changed her name to Ayesha Sultana.[2] She then married him in 1968. They have three children: Saif Ali Khan (b. 1970), Saba Ali Khan, and Soha Ali Khan (b. 1978).
