When Nausheen Ali Sardar revealed that Sima Taparia refused to marry her because of religion

Nausheen Ali Sardara popular television actor and model, revealed that Sima Taparia of ‘Indian Matchmaking’ fame refused to sign her up with his agency because of her religion.
Earlier, in an interview with Pinkvilla, Nausheen shared her experience of searching for a suitable marriage partner through Sima Taparia of ‘Indian Matchmaking’ fame. However, Taparia informed her that his agency did not serve Muslims or Catholics. Nausheen expressed shock at this response, emphasizing her right to equal treatment in society. She recounted her family’s insistence on enrolling her on a matrimonial website during the lockdown as she was not dating at the time. Despite the disappointing encounter, Nausheen highlighted her broader experiences with discrimination based on her religion, including difficulties finding housing.
Discussing how the incident shocked her, Nausheen said, “I mean, it’s 2021! Muslimso what? I have equal rights in society.” She was so angered by the experience that she shared it on social media, asking Sima to broaden her mindset. However, her family worried for her safety and asked her to remove the post, fearing that someone might harm her for expressing her feelings.
Nausheen further shared her experiences of facing discrimination based on her religion. She revealed that many owners refused to rent out their houses in various locations, directly stating that they did not rent to Muslims. Shocked by this blatant exclusion, she emphasized the importance of respecting all religions, warning that rigid mentalities make it difficult to succeed in society.
She also highlighted the difficulties she faces in finding housing due to her religion. She said being Muslim, an actress, single or even having pets makes it difficult to secure a basic home. Owners often express concerns about her religion, while assumptions about actresses lead to stereotypes that they lack character or are involved in negative behaviors. Nausheen expressed her disbelief at such rigid mentalities, emphasizing the need for respect in all religions.
