<p>Its been five months since the music composer, singer Wajid Khan passed away. The singer<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood-music-composer-wajid-khan-of-the-duo-sajid-wajid-dies-at-42-celebs-pay-tributes-302237"> died </a>on June 1 this year due to a cardiac arrest.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
After months, Wajid wife Kamalrukh Khan took to her social media to share her thoughts on 'anti-conversion bill' and also revealed her struggles and suffering of the inter-caste marriage and how she was harassed and was forced by the music composer's family to change her religion.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On Friday, Kamalrukh posted a lengthy message in which she shared some inner details of her married life, ''I am Parsi and he was Muslim. We were what you would call "college sweethearts". Eventually, when we did get married, we married for love under the Special Marriages Act (an act that upholds the right to practice one's own religion post-marriage). I want to share my ordeal and my experience in an inter-caste marriage - that in this day and age, a woman can face such prejudice, suffering and discrimination in the name of religion is a complete shame...and an eye-opener.''</p>
