Sara & Sachin’s Story :
- Sara & Sachin met in London, as both the Pilot and Abdullah families had been family friends for some time.
- However, there was strong opposition to their marriage from both sides because she was a Muslim and Sachin was a Hindu.
- Sachin somehow convinced his family to accept Sara, but it was more difficult for her to convince her family. Because of this, the Abdullah family did not even attend their wedding!
- However, subsequently, in later years, The Abdullahs relented and accepted their relationship.
- Allegedly, the hesitation towards their marriage was not due to personal opinions but due to political pressure.
- Sara’s mother was a Christian herself, and her brother had married a Hindu woman.
- But, according to doctrines of Islam, a Muslim man could marry a non-Muslim woman, but a Muslim woman couldn’t marry a non-Muslim man. Because of this, her father faced severe pressure from the opposition govt. in Kashmir.

- These rumours had come soon after her brother Omar was reportedly estranged from his Hindu wife of 17 years, Payal, because he had gotten close to a reporter of a national news channel.
