The Uttar Pradesh government's anti conversion law has had many stumped. Under this new law, couples belonging to opposite faiths need to get an approval from the district magistrate two months prior to registering their marriage. The new law purportedly is against love jihad but has however come under a lot of criticism.
Actor Siddharth who's known to be vocal about social issues took to Twitter and penned: Father, I love this boy. I want to marry him Is he from our community? No. It's ok, I respect your love as an adult. You have my blessings. Uh... We need to go to the DM and take permission. Please call an Uber. #NewIndia #LoveJihad

He further wrote: How dare they let a major age girl decide who she wants to marry and how? Under their rules, nobody should have the freedom to do anything...eat anything, say anything, sing anything, write anything, study anything, marry anyway... They will clearly tell us how to do what. (sic)
