The Hindu Mahasabha has thrown a challenge to Bollywood actors Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Saif Ali Khan to convert to Hinduism if they “really” love their wives.

The latest salvo comes in the form of an editorial in its weekly publication Hindu Sabha Varta.

The article also targets Fardeen Khan and Emraan Hashmi for marrying Hindu women.

According to the editorial, there is pressure on film-makers to pair Muslim male actors with Hindu actresses. “Once Hindu girls see Muslim actors doing Hindu roles with Hindu actresses, they don’t find it immoral to be with Muslim men. They start looking for their heroes in Muslim men living in their vicinity.”

“It is because of these films and actors that Hindu girls find marrying Muslim men perfectly normal. These Muslim actors have become an inspiration for the ‘love jihad’ to be perpetuated,” it says.

When contacted, Munna Kumar Singh, the Editor and Publisher of the weekly, posed several questions to The Hindu. “If these Muslim actors love their wives, why do their wives have to convert to Islam and adopt Muslim culture? Why can’t they continue to retain their Hindu title [read name] instead of taking on the title of their Muslim husbands,” he asked.
