“Two photos show a ‘love jihad’ case where a Hindu woman named Nandini Mandal married a Muslim man, converted to Islam as Zara Islam, and was later attacked, leaving her with burn injuries.”
What FACTLY found
Both viral photos are unrelated to any real-life incident. The first image is a poster from the Bangladeshi movie Widow Wife, featuring actress Jouti Islam, and the second photo shows her with makeup for another film titled I Am Nusrat Chaturthi. Jouti Islam herself clarified on Instagram that the viral claim is fake.
