Many Bollywood stars have done interfaith marriage. Many Muslim beauties became daughters-in-law of Hindu families and many Hindu actresses converted to Islam for marriage. Dharmendra had also done the same for his second marriage with Hema Malini. In the Pataudi family too, daughters-in-law of two generations accepted Islam for marriage and even changed their names.
