Shaken by Pahalgam Attack, Neha Sharma Explains Her Decision to Convert
Neha Sharma said that the terrorist attack in Pahalgam shook her to the core. She said that when she saw how the terrorists were asking the Hindus for their identity before brutally killing them, she realized that Islam had become synonymous with terrorism. She felt that every Muslim seemed like a terrorist to her. This emotional turmoil inspired her to embrace Sanatan Dharma.
Religious Conversion Done with Proper Rituals
Hindu Raksha Dal president Pinky Chaudhary called it a homecoming and not a religious conversion. She said that the organisation will welcome anyone who wishes to embrace Sanatan Dharma voluntarily.
