Mini Mathur: Our kids have no religion

Television personality Mini Mathur has shared insights into her interfaith marriage with filmmaker Kabir Khan, highlighting their approach to raising their two children. Mathur explained that they have intentionally chosen not to assign a religion to their children, Sairah and Vivaan. On official documents, their children are listed as having 'no religion' or following 'humanism.'

Mathur, who married Khan over two decades ago, noted that their families accepted their different religious backgrounds. She also mentioned that she personally observes cultural traditions like Karva Chauth and 'havan' due to her upbringing, even though she doesn't consider herself religious. Her father's initial hesitation about Kabir Khan being Muslim was overcome, with him eventually accepting the filmmaker.

Kabir Khan is known for directing films such as 'New York' and 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan.' Mathur and Khan reportedly value the cultural aspects of their respective faiths but not the religious elements. They have been married for over 20 years and have successfully navigated religious identity for their children without encountering significant opposition from authorities.
