Pooja Bedi, who made her Bollywood debut opposite Aamir Khan in Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, stepped away from the film industry after marrying businessman Farhan Furniturewala in 1994. Despite receiving multiple offers after the film’s success, she chose to prioritise her married life and responsibilities as a wife and daughter-in-law.
In a recent interview, Pooja reflected on her interfaith marriage and how social attitudes have changed over the years. She said that during the 1990s, marriages between Hindus and Muslims did not attract the kind of public reaction often seen today. She also described her former in-laws as traditional and admitted that continuing her acting career after marriage would have made them uncomfortable.
