Pretty interesting.

Bowled over: Irfan Pathan to marry Shivangi - Vadodara - Cities - The Times of India

VADODARA: It's a decision that could break a million hearts. 'Baroda bomber' Irfan Pathan is set to marry long-time friend Shivangi Dev, daughter

New innings: Irfan & Shivangi
of an Indian diplomat in Australia. Pathan, who has known Shivangi for the past six years, told TOI that their parents had finally given their nod to the wedding.

"We know each other really well now," said a blushing Irfan, who first met his lady-love in Canberra in 2003. The younger Pathan, however, is sure of the venue. "It will take some time but certainly in Vadodara. It will be a traditional wedding," he said.

TOI had first reported about Irfan's relationship with Shivangi, in March last year. Irfan had first met her during a practice match. "She was very shy and didn't talk much during our first meeting. It took quite some time before we got comfortable with each other and got into a relationship," Irfan said.

So, who proposed first? "I was the one who proposed to her about three years ago. I was in Vadodara when I called her up and asked her if she would marry me," he said. She said yes.

Initially, there was some resistance from both families. "Now, our families have accepted our relationship," he added.

Shivangi, who has visited Irfan's home twice, works as a chartered accountant in Australia and also teaches dance to children. "She is a very good dance teacher and has a major fan following in her dance school," said Irfan who has visited her school.

What is this world coming to? Why would a Muslim want to marrya Hindu unless she converts?

i dunno whats HS ?

Anyway lemme connect the two statements if thats what you r askin for.

I cannot do anything if Irfan Pathan Decides to marry a guy. He can do all he wants and still call himself muslim. However Islam doesnt recognize gay marriage.
it was an example.

He can marry a hindu girl and call himself muslim. I cant do anything abt that either but Islam doesnt recognize that marriage.

india is a great country ,here hindu and muslims live togather in joy and sorrow ,most of the citizen are secular , here every body is free to marry according to his choice ,here if miyan bibi raji to kuch na kare kaaji . idiots are a plenty in india like pakistan but nobody listens to them so after making some hue and cry they go to their way. my congratulations to both families.
