MP के खंडवा जिले में एक मुस्लिम युवती सिफा ने अपने कॉलेज ब्वॉयफ्रेंड राहुल से शादी कर महादेवगढ़ मंदिर में सनातन धर्म मे घरवापसी की। उनका नया नाम शान्वी रखा गया। शान्वी ने बताया राम का सीता के प्रति समर्पण देखकर उन्होंने इस्लाम छोड़ दिया ।

Shanvi expressed that she has been drawn to Hinduism since her childhood. She mentioned that from a young age, Hindu deities would bless her in her dreams, leading her to return to the fold of Hinduism. She emphasized that women are honored in Sanatan Dharma. Goddesses Sita and Durga are worshipped in the religion. The young woman added that she found joy in witnessing all of this.
She was inspired by Sanatan Dharma and chose to marry Rahul Verma of her own accord. “I had heard a great deal about Mahadevgarh through social media. Therefore, I had made a vow to marry only at the this temple. Bholenath granted my wish. Now, his blessings will be upon both of us,” the happy bride voiced.
