Himanshi explained that her partner had spoken to her about the positive aspects of his religion and wanted her to understand and accept them. However, she said she was not comfortable taking that step. “I will not talk about conversion,” Himanshi said, explaining that while she was told about the “achhi baatein” of another faith, accepting them did not feel right to her.

The actress recalled how emotionally complicated the situation became. At one point, she said, she felt as though she was “Are you betraying your God?” that she was betraying her God. She also remembered thinking about visiting the Char Dham and completing her temple visits, describing the thought almost like saying goodbye before making a major decision. Importantly, Himanshi clarified that she did not experience physical mistreatment during these conversations and did not accuse her former partner of misbehaving with her.
