Pakistani religious scholar Mufti Abdul Qavi has claimed that he is set to marry Indian actress Rakhi Sawant, with the wedding reportedly scheduled for February 14.
Speaking on a private TV programme, Mufti Qavi revealed that the date was chosen by Rakhi herself. “Our nikkah is happening on February 14,” he said, confirming that Rakhi had personally suggested the date.
He said that after the wedding, Rakhi would adopt Islamic attire. “Her clothing will be completely in accordance with Islamic and Shariah guidelines, and I might even change my own dressing style,” he added.
Earlier, in a podcast interview, Mufti Qavi had said he was willing to marry Rakhi if his mother approved. He later clarified that his mother had advised him to make his own decision but refrain from disclosing details about his past marriages.
Rakhi, known for her controversial statements, responded to Mufti Qavi’s proposal in a humourous manner. “I’ve been dying to marry a Maulana! Qavi Sahib, your name even means ‘strong’—why don’t you write me some poetry instead?” she joked.
The development has sparked widespread speculation, with social media users questioning whether the nikkah will actually take place or if the exchange is merely a publicity stunt.
