Mumtaz said from Star’s Journey YouTube channel, ‘My most favorites are Lord Shankar and Krishna. I believe in both of these very deeply, even though I am a Muslim. Whenever I come down the stairs in the house, there is an idol of Lord Ganesha – it is my favourite. I bow my head at his feet. I also have great faith in Lord Shankar. Since childhood, I like good looking people, and I think he is the most handsome God. That’s why I like him so much. There are only these two Gods in whom I have special faith.
On her interfaith marriage, the actress said, ‘I believe in both religions. I have married a Hindu boy, my sister also married a Hindu. We both are very happy. My husband takes very good care of me. I don’t understand why people keep trying to divide Hindus and Muslims. I do not believe in any such division.
What did Mumtaz say about Muslims?
In this conversation, Mumtaz gave a big statement regarding Hindu-Muslim marriages. She said, ‘I always say that I married a Hindu, and so did my sister, and we both are very happy. Among Muslims, many men marry three-four times and then leave their wives. How does this make Muslims better than Hindus? A man should not marry three-four times already. I am a Muslim myself, and I say that this is wrong – keeping one wife and marrying another, then a third.
‘Have you ever wondered how positive women are in relationships? This is a relationship where every woman is positive. Leaving one person and marrying another, how is this right? Is this not a sin? In this matter I like Hindus better, they usually marry only once. Sometimes he does it twice, but he does not easily leave one person and go to another.
