Love knows no boundaries and religion is definitely not a boundary that love cannot cross. Chahat (Pratibha Ranta) and Neel (Rajveer Singh) in Qurbaan Hua have shown us all that a marriage is based on love, trust and understanding. Like them, we have seen many real-life couples in Bollywood who have proved that religion is not a hindrance when it comes to being with each other and marrying the one. Here are some of the couples who had an inter-faith marriage and who have given us all couple goals from time to time.
Watch the latest episode of Qurbaan Hua here:
