Spinning an inexorable narrative to portray 'bad' Hindus & good 'Muslims'.

"Tara vs Bilal. It was a love story between a woman named Tara Kaul and a man named Bilal Khan, where Tara gets cheated and dumped by a man named Karan Sharma till Bilal rescues her from repeated abuse by him"

"She goes on to have nikah (marriage with Islamic rituals where both partners are necessarily Muslims) with Bilal, who assumes that her grandfather — the only family she has — would leave India to live with them in London."

"A month earlier, released Double XL.. What stood out was a sub-plot of romance between a woman named Saira Khanna & a man named Zorawar Rahmani.

Like Tara vs Bilal,the Muslim religion of Zorawar is of no significance to the plot of the film,which has been written by Mudassar

Aziz. There is also a scene where it is revealed that Zorawar is a Pathan by caste or ethnicity."

"Goodbye,produced by Ekta Kapoor.The film on a dysfunctional family showed a Hindu woman named Tara Bhalla(lead character)in a live-in relationship with a Muslim man named Mudassar"

"showed a romantic relationship between a Hindu woman named Ganga (protagonist) and a Muslim man named Afsaan Razzaq. The film is Gangubai Kathiawadi, based on the real story of a woman who eloped from her home to work in Bollywood but ended up in a Mumbai brothel"

"The film is based on a written account by journalist Hussain Zaidi"

"Her relationship with Razzaq stands out strikingly in the film against her earlier relationship with a Hindu man named Ramnik Lal, who traps her in love with ulterior motives and sells her to a brothel."

"Two months before Gangubai, released Atrangi Re, which showed a Hindu woman named Rinku Raghuvanshi (protagonist) in love with Sajjad Ali Khan".

"Midway during the film, Rinku is shown as saying, “Hum bataiyein kisse kehte hain love… Hindu Thakur ladki... Aur ye, katai Miyabhai launda. Isse kehte hain love story."

* All innocent
* All accidental
* It's a two-way thing
