I’m not a gold digger: Shibani
In Chapter 2 of Rhea Chakraborty’s podcast, Shibani said that when I got into a relationship with Farhan, people started calling me a gold digger and our relationship a love jihad. What could I do about this? Would I sit down and cry if people said that about me? I’m not a gold digger. The truth is that he (Farhan) is a Muslim and I am a Hindu, we got married and we are happy in our life. People can say what they want, but it’s our truth.
