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.

In viewing the evidence, it is apparent that some of the ancient Egyptians believed that gender is created by the sperm from the male parent, and reproduction is via male and female union. This belief predated the Qur'an by about 2,900 years as evidenced by the pyramid text of Pharaoh Pepi I, 2332-2283 BC. (read more)
