She has in fact demonstrated through her words and actions that she has become a devout follower of Hinduism since her retirement from Bollywood.
A point that is also overlooked by those who propagate these false rumors is that by celebrating the alleged conversion of Kulkarni and Goswami, a conversion that is said to have been prompted by the unequal laws applied to non-Muslims in the United Arab Emirates, they are effectively celebrating the legalized oppression of non-Muslims that exists in many Islamic societies.

The Meaning of Nikah

Lane's Lexicon.jpg

This page references and quotes numerous scholarly and/or reliable sources that define or describe the Arabic term nikah (or the root n-k-h) as meaning "sexual intercourse", or the contract of sexual intercourse, or marriage as a contract for sexual intercourse.

"NIKAH:

Literally the act of sexual intercourse, nikah is the term by which marriage is referred to in the Qur'an. Islamic law defines nikah as a civil contract whose main function is to render sexual relations between a man and woman licit. Any sexual relations outside the nikah contract constitute the crime of zina (illicit sexual relations) and are subject to punishment." (read more)
