firstly, this was a question asked by sumone which is merely reality... so theres no arguing in that... in majority of the films, the girl is always portrayed as a muslim and the guy is always portrayed as a hindu... its a fact, that most of the time the girl is a muslim, y cant the guy be a muslim in a particular film? ... thats wat one tends to wonder ...
yes, everyone has their own choice in reality, no one is asking anyone to change their values and morals at all, no one is stating that indians r bad and indian films r not worth watching... no one is stating y a hindu and muslim shud not marry in reality, its their perception so be it.. but for muslims, whether u agree or not, its morally wrong, now i cant argue y sum ppl do not understand morals, but we mustnt forget that morals and values oif religion r important and morally its wrong, regardless of wat one says or doz! ... we have no control over wat anyone doz in reality... but the fact is that in sum films where theres a muslim and a hindu, the girl is a muslim... but do u guys have an answer to the why part of the question???? ... not really!
if sum of u do not know, then in islam, forget wat ppl do in reality, if we talk about reality then who knows where we will end up... but in islam a girl is not allowed to marry anyone who is not a muslim... for a guy its possible, but then the condition is that the girl from the other religion will have to convert later on... but for girls its an out and out no...
so now, we come back to the original question, y is it that the guy cant ever be a muslim... if one can portray it from one side then y not the other way as well? ... we have no objection over wat producers and directors decide about their films...but isnt it odd that the muslim girl is always shown to sacrifice everything for the sake of love, her religion in particular... which is not something common, it happens once in a blue moon, but NOT IN MAJORITY!...
so thats the only thing sumone wanted to know... if sum ppl stated sumthing offensive, then they were wrong on their part, but i dont consider this as a hatred topic... its merely a question that ponders us as muslims... and mind the fact that indian cinema is global, it portrays things which reach many, and at times wen its about muslims its mostly inaccurate, and being a muslim we cant help but question as to y its always one way and not the other?????????
