On November 22, 2020, Sana Khan had shared a beautiful picture with her husband, Mufti Anas from their wedding. Sana had looked ethereal in a traditional red bridal ensemble. She had donned a red lehenga with heavy golden border, a heavy matha patti and layered neckpiece adorned her overall look. Check out the picture below:

In her interview with the Times Of India, Sana Khan spilt beans on how and when she had met her husband. She was quoted as saying, "We first met in 2017 in Mecca. It was a brief meeting on the day I was returning to India. Anas was introduced to me as an Islamic scholar. I would like to clarify that he is an Alim, and not a Mufti. I contacted him towards the end of 2018, as I had some questions about religion. Then, after more than a year, we reconnected in 2020. I was always inclined towards learning more about Islam."

Further, talking about how marrying Anas wasn't an overnight decision, Sana said, "Getting married to Anas wasn’t an overnight decision. I have prayed for years for a man like him in my life. What I liked best about him is that he is shareef and unn mein haya hai. He is not judgmental. He had said this to me, ‘Agar koi achhi cheez gutter mein gir gayi hai toh uske upar aap 10 baalti bhi paani daal do, woh saaf nahi hoti hai. Par aap usko gutter se baahar nikaal kar ek glass paani daal do, woh saaf ho jaati hai’. That had a lasting impact on me."

Sana then talked about her inclination to leading a religious life and said, "This is what I am, jo main pehle Instagram par daalti thi, woh main nahi thi. That was a character. But people tend to judge you on the basis of your outer appearance. Mera true self dab raha tha because of peer pressure. On social media, one has to do things beyond their comfort zone to get work. But now, I am in sync with life. Not at all. People ask me if I have taken sanyaas. Sanyaas lene mein aur religiously life follow karne mein bahut difference hai."

Talking about the trolling and hatred she had received on social media, Sana said, "People trolled me and wrote nasty comments on my Insta handle. That’s so distasteful. They did that because I decided to quit the industry and lead my life in a certain way. Well, how does my marriage concern anyone? I did not get married for these trolls. My husband is a good man and I find him good-looking, maybe you don’t. I don’t care."

When asked if her marriage is a rebound as she had a breakup earlier this year, Sana Khan retorted, "Aap rebound par affair kar sakte ho, shaadi nahi karoge. In the life I have left behind, it was normal to have a boyfriend. These are some of the things I regret. I want to be a responsible parent in the future. I believe our kids follow some of what we do and think. Humara sirf surname nahi par soch bhi pass on hoti hai. My husband wants me to take time, but I definitely want to become a mother soon."

Sana's husband, Mufti Anas talked to the Bombay Times and expressed how he gets judged for marrying an actress. He was quoted as saying, "I prayed to God that I want to marry Sana and he heard my prayers. I feel that I wouldn’t have been this happy if I had married anybody else. Sana is not full of herself. She is affable, forgiving and has a clean heart. I always wanted a girl who complemented and completed me. People still ask me how I got married to an actress, but yeh chhoti soch ke log hain. It’s my life and no one should comment on it. People are free to think that we are a mismatched couple, but only we know how compatible we are."  He also talked about Sana's decision to quit showbiz and said, “I have never forced her to lead life in a certain way. She announced on Instagram around six months ago that she has taken hijab. People thought that it’s because of the pandemic and no work, but she always wanted to detach herself from what she was doing. I wanted her to give it some time, but she was certain. In fact, I was shocked, too, when she announced that she was quitting the industry.” (Don't Miss: Neetu Kapoor Remembers Rishi Kapoor As He Completed Five Decades In Industry With 'Mera Naam Joker')
