Actor Sahil Khan recently announced that his wife, Milena Alexandra, has converted to Islam. In 2024, he tied the knot with his second wife, Milena, who is a 22-year-old from Belarus, Europe.
A few days ago, he shared the news on his Instagram handle, with the caption, "Very Proud to Announce That My Wife Milena Alexandra. Has Chosen To Embrace Islam. Alhamdulillah For This Beautiful Journey! May Allah Forgive Us & Accept Our Prayers."
However, Sahil faced massive backlash for asking his wife to convert to Islam after marriage. Additionally, in his announcement post, the actor was seen wearing a chain with a cross pendant, which did not sit well with netizens.
Check it out:
Reacting to the news, a user commented, "Why is embracing Islam important for her if she loves you so much? Would you not Accept Christianity if you love her truly? No offence but just out of curiosity. What is the use of embracing Islam without studying and researching it? And not only Islam, what is the use of embracing any religion just for marriage if you both have a rock solid bonding? Anyways I wish Sahil Bhai a happy married life ahead. Peace."
Another user said, "Is it necessary to change religion after marriage?" A third user added, "If u really love her …than why u want her to change her religion accept her whatever she is!!"
Netizens also slammed him for wearing the cross chain. One user commented, "Your necklace is a symbol of another religion."

In 2024, Sahil revealed that he and Milena got engaged in Russia and were legally married. Talking about the age difference, he told Hindustan Times, “She is very intelligent but also sensitive because she is quite young. We have a lot of differences in our ages. She is much more mature mentally than many other 21-year-olds and also very calm in nature."
Sahil was earlier married to Iranian-born Norwegian actress Negar Khan. They tied the knot on 21 September 2003 and divorced in July 2005.
