Sharmila reveals she and Mansoor Ali Khan needed to make their will contrary to Islamic rules

Continuing with the conversation, Sharmila Tagore revealed that according to Islamic laws, a person cannot make a will for their assets. They can give away their assets to non-heirs, but not to their own heirs. For the unversed, after her marriage, Sharmila converted to Islam. Coming back to her will, Sharmila Tagore remarked that she and her husband did make separate wills, to divide their property among their three children. In her words:

“In Islam, we are not allowed to make a will so you have to think about that. You can give it to non heirs, but you cannot give it to your heirs… 25%, 50% like that. So that needs to be very well understood. We have a lot of land so that needs to be looked at and controlled and make sure that whose name… I have 3 children. Just make sure that everything is in order.”

When Sharmila Tagore spoke about her husband’s immense support for her to work after marriage

In one of her earlier interviews with Bollywood Bubble, Sharmila Tagore candidly spoke about her husband, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi’s relentless support for her to work, even after marriage. The star recalled how it was very commonly thought back then that women, after their marriage, could not even study, forget about pursuing a career. Adding more, she had said:

“I had a lot of support from my family, my husband, who always gave me space, always supported me in everything. I didn’t have to explain myself. So I had that kind of support. I have been very blessed with that. My mother wasn’t allowed to go to a co-ed university, she had to do her MA privately. I have been asked, ‘How did your husband allow you to work after you got married’. Things are changing. We are going forward.”
