Before entering the Bigg Boss 18 house, Sara and Arfeen spoke to the media, where Sara opened up about her decision to embrace Islam. In an interview with Siddharth Kanan, Sara explained, “For some reason, I had many Muslim friends from all over the world. I attended various debates about religion and read the Bible, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Quran. When it comes to religion, there is no right or wrong, only a calling. I simply followed where my heart led me. At that time, Arfeen and I weren’t married, and I wasn’t even sure I wanted to marry him because it was a huge decision, as he was Muslim and I was Hindu.” Arfeen added, “I have to give credit to Sara’s father. He supported her wholeheartedly. I wasn’t aware of her conversion until much later, but her family stood by her decision, and my parents had no objections either.”
