The background story

According to information, Nandini Simoliya lost her parents to a road accident and illness in 2010. This is when her elder sister Preeti Khan and her brother-in-law Abdullah Khan adopted the helpless 14-year-old Nandini. 

Talking to the media Nandini said, “I was 14 when I lost my parents and started living with my sister’s family. They took care of my studies and all expenses. All these years, I and the family have been following our respective religions cordially (Nandini Hinduism, the family Islam). Now, I am also getting married as per Hindu rituals.”

She also said that her family supported her education until she was a post graduate. She never felt pressured to change her religion.

She further concluded that, “Hindu and Muslims are brothers and sisters and both must remain united.”

Muslim guardian to perform Kanyadan

The family is determined to carry out the wedding in the best way possible. All the rituals including Mata Pujan, Haldi, Mehendi, Phere, Reception and Vidai have been planned and are taking place one by one.

Also the guardian, Abdullah Khan, is going to perform the Kanyadan of Nandini.

About the same, Khan said, “Yeh rishta khoon se nahin, balki pyaar aur apnapan se bana hai. Meri beti khush rahe, yehi meri tamanna hai, aur kuch maayne nahin rakhta…(This relationship is not made of blood, but of love and affection. My only wish is for my daughter to be happy, nothing else matters).”
