Nouran shared, “I was accused of love jihad for converting Vivian to Islam. He also faced trolling on social media, and maybe it affected his work pattern too. We have a lot of differences in terms of belief or language barrier, I had very clearly told him that in my religion, I could not do an interfaith marriage with him, it is not acceptable on my side and I respect that. Vivian was a Christian, and its core is very similar to Islam. But since women don’t convert to our religion, I stayed away for six months because I was very worried and scared wondering if he would do this for me.”

She also added, “I thought the society won’t spare us, if he changed his religion for a woman, secondly, he would regret later if I didn’t meet his expectations. It was a big step. We didn’t speak for six months, and I would not respond to his messages, but then I got to know from a mutual friend that he kept studying my religion. I had zero interference in this, he met people, and then after six months, he told my friends that he wanted to speak with me. He said he was ready to convert, not for me but for himself, so even if I was not with him he would have adopted Islam. It took me 1-2 weeks to believe him that he was doing it for himself, I didn’t want him to be cut off from his roots for me.”
Nouran and Vivian’s love on the show has been adored by the audience. Nouran’s strong personality on Bigg Boss 18 made quite an impression.
