Actress Chahatt Khanna, known for her roles in popular TV shows like Bade Achhe Lagte Hain and Qubool Hai, recently opened up about her personal life, revealing details about her marriages, religious experiences, and personal struggles. After staying away from the limelight for a long time, Chahatt shared some emotional insights in an interview with Zoom/Tele Talk India.
Chahatt first got married in 2006 to businessman Bharat Narsinghani, but the marriage ended within a few months. She later tied the knot with Farhan Mirza, son of Bollywood writer Shahrukh Mirza, and the couple had two daughters. During her second marriage, Chahatt adopted Islam. However, the relationship ended in 2018, with Chahatt citing reasons like sexual abuse and mental harassment.
Embracing Islam Without Regrets
In the interview, Chahatt revealed that she has no regrets about converting to Islam during her second marriage. According to her, the experience allowed her to gain valuable knowledge about the religion. “I learned a lot about Islam and still hold it close to my heart. I am not religious but very spiritual. I believe in all religions and am open to different faiths,” Chahatt shared. She further added that she still has faith in some core principles of Islam, even after her return to Sanatan Dharma.
Chahatt also mentioned that she believes in Jesus Christ and remains a devoted follower of both Kali and Krishna. Her spiritual openness reflects her belief in multiple faiths and a non-judgmental approach to religious practices.
Happy to Return to Sanatan Dharma
Chahatt explained that it took her several years after the divorce to return to her original faith. “It took me 4-5 years to come back to my roots, but I’m glad I did,” she said. She expressed happiness in reconnecting with Sanatan Dharma and shared that she discovered many deep truths during her spiritual journey back to her original beliefs.
Being Forbidden to Worship Her Gods
Chahatt revealed a painful experience from her second marriage, where she was forbidden from worshiping her gods. “I felt lost at that time,” she said, adding that she took time to find her way back to Sanatan Dharma. When asked whether she felt brainwashed, she hesitated but admitted it felt like that in some ways. “Thankfully, I am back home,” Chahatt concluded, emphasizing her relief at being able to practice her faith freely again.
