Sara Khan Marries Krish Pathak in Interfaith Wedding

Mumbai, October 8: There wasn’t much fanfare. No designer mandap, no drone shots, no celebrity circus. Just two people, Sara Khan and Krish Pathak walking into a Mumbai courtroom on October 6 and walking out married.

It was quiet, intentional, and a little poetic. The Bidaai actor and Sunil Lahri’s son, best known for playing Lakshman in Ramayan, chose to make it official under the Special Marriage Act, a law meant for couples who don’t want religion deciding their fate.

A Line That Says Everything

Later that day, Sara posted a picture. No filter, no fuss. Just the two of them smiling. Her caption read:

“Two faiths. One Script. Infinite Love… ‘Qubool Hai’ se ‘Saat Phere’ tak, the vows await this December Two hearts, Two cultures, One Forever.”

That single post did what no press release could. It set the tone. It told people exactly what kind of couple they are honest, grounded, and quietly brave. Within hours, the post had taken over timelines. Fans called it beautiful. Others called it bold.

Sara and Krish are planning a bigger celebration in December 2025, where they’ll exchange both nikah vows and pheras, in what sources say will be a “union of two traditions, not a compromise of either.”

The Families and the Faiths

According to The Indian Express, both families were present for the court signing. Sunil Lahri, who rarely comments on personal matters, reportedly gave his blessings. People close to the family said the ceremony was “simple but emotional.”

There’s something symbolic in the image of Lakshman’s son marrying a Muslim actress not dramatically or defiantly, but just as two people choosing each other. In today’s climate, that’s quietly powerful.

Sara’s own journey has had its share of ups and downs, a breakout role in Bidaai, stints on reality television, a public breakup, and a few reinventions. Krish has been more private, working steadily in digital productions and learning to build a career beyond his father’s shadow. Together, they seem to balance each other out: she’s spontaneous, he’s grounded.

The Internet Has Its Say

On social media, the mood was surprisingly warm. Hashtags like #SaraKrishWedding and #TwoFaithsOneScript trended for hours. Fellow actors, old co-stars, and even a few politicians dropped comments wishing them well.

Of course, there were the usual critics, the ones who can’t help turning a love story into a debate. But most responses came from people simply saying it’s nice to see love win without theatrics.

A fan wrote: “In a time when faith divides, they reminded us it can also unite.”

A Marriage That Feels Like a Mirror

There’s a reason this particular wedding struck a chord. India has always had its share of interfaith love stories, Saif and Kareena, Riteish and Genelia, Farhan and Shibani, but every time, the story hits differently depending on where the country is emotionally. Right now, it feels like a small act of hope.

Their decision to marry under the Special Marriage Act says plenty. It’s not rebellion, not conversion, just the insistence that love and legality can coexist without one erasing the other.

And that’s perhaps what makes Sara and Krish’s story feel real; it isn’t a fairytale. It’s two people navigating identity, family, and faith in a country that can make all three complicated.

What Comes Next

The December wedding is expected to be bigger but not over-the-top. India Today reports that it’ll combine customs from both families’ nikah rituals, Hindu pheras, and probably a lot of laughter in between.

Friends say the couple wants it to feel intimate, not like a spectacle. There’ll be music, food, and family. But mostly, they just want the night to feel like them, simple, joyful, genuine.

More Than a Headline

In an industry obsessed with perfect pictures, this marriage feels refreshingly imperfect. It’s personal. It’s not trying to prove anything.

Sara once said in an interview that she believes “love should never be about surrender, only understanding.” Watching her now, that line feels prophetic.

Krish, for his part, seems content avoiding the spotlight. People who’ve worked with him describe him as quiet, thoughtful, someone who doesn’t post much, doesn’t talk much, but listens deeply.

Together, they’re not trying to make a statement. But they might have made one anyway.

When Sara ended her post with “When love writes the script, faith finds harmony,” it wasn’t crafted PR it was just the kind of thing you say when you’ve lived a few stories and finally found one worth keeping.

And maybe that’s what makes it human.
