MUMBAI: (UrduPoint/UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News-May 1st, 2026) Indian actress Reem Shaikh has said she does not see herself marrying outside her religion, attributing her stance to her strong personal faith and religious practices.

In a recent interview, the actress shared her views on interfaith relationships when asked whether falling in love with someone from a different religion could complicate her life.

Reem Shaikh also comes from an interfaith family background, as her mother follows Hinduism while her father is Muslim.
