Priyamani opens up on interfaith marriage Back then, some trolls were so harsh that they said their children would become 'terrorists.' This negativity persisted even after their marriage in 2017. In a recent interview, Priyamani talked about how she continues to face trolling, with people questioning her religious beliefs. In a conversation with Filmfare, Priyamani said, "People were texting me, saying: ‘Jihad, Muslim, your kids are going to be terrorists. It’s disheartening. Why target a single inter-caste couple? There are many top actors who have married outside their caste or religion. Not necessarily, they imbibed or adopted that religion. They just fell in love with someone irrespective of their religion. I don’t understand why there is so much hate around this."She was even trolled when she shared a picture for Eid but not Navratri, to this she replied, "People questioned why I didn’t post for Navratri. I didn’t know how to respond, but I’m no longer affected by it. I choose not to pay attention to such negativity."
