Kareena Kapoor Says She Believes In Love, Not In 'Love Jihad'

BANGALORE:  Kareena Kapoor believes in "the feeling of love" which, she feels, can happen between two people regardless of caste, creed, or religion. Therefore, the actress doesn't relate to the concept of 'Love Jihad' and says that she does not believe in such theories.

"I believe only in the feeling of love," Kareena, who is married to actor-filmmaker Saif Ali Khan, told IANS when asked about 'Love Jihad', which is allegedly a Muslim project of luring Hindu girls into marriage and religious conversion.

"Saif has a very broad perspective and he also shared his perspective on 'Love Jihad' (via an open letter). He married a Hindu, which is me, and we had a civil marriage," said the actress.

"I feel that love is something that you can't term. There is passion, there is lust, there are so many things. It can happen between two human beings," said Kareena.

"Now if somebody is Hindu and he or she starts loving a Muslim person, you can't stop them. You cannot ask somebody, 'Are you a Muslim or are you a Hindu?' and then fall in love. Love is a feeling, it's an emotion. That's why I don't believe in 'Love Jihad'. I believe in the feeling of love," added the 34-year-old actress.

Co-incidentally her next film with Salman Khan Bajrangi Bhaijan is also about a Brahmin girl and Muslim boy.
