Love jihad, a widely debunked conspiracy theory pushed by far-right-wing groups such as Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal, alleges that Muslim men lure Hindu women into marriages to convert them.

Notably, Khan was previously married to Reena Dutta and later to Kiran Rao. Spratt, with a Tamil-Irish background, has Christian roots and reportedly does not follow Hinduism.

Bajrang Dal leader Manoj Soni released a video statement two days after Spratt and Khan tied the knot. He said Khan is repeatedly marrying Hindu women and daughters, effectively lining them up to insult the Hindu society.
