Long before she was cast opposite Aditya Roy Kapur in “Gumraah,” Vedika Pinto was the face everyone in India was asking about — not because of a film, but because of a music video. Ritviz’s 2019 hit “Liggi” made her an overnight sensation after Salman Khan himself reposted it, and her religious background turns out to be just as much a blend as her career path.
| Full name | Vedika Pinto |
| Born | October 1995, Mumbai, India |
| Religion | Interfaith household — Hindu and Catholic heritage |
| Known for | “Liggi” music video, “Gumraah,” “Nishaanchi” |
An Interfaith Home, Documented in Its Decor
The clearest public account of Pinto’s religious background doesn’t come from an interview about faith at all — it comes from a 2026 India TV News house-tour feature on her Mumbai apartment. The piece describes her home’s decor as bringing together “her Punjabi Hindu and Catholic heritage,” noting that artwork of Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva, and Jesus Christ share the same space, much of it designed by her father.
That detail lines up with her name: “Pinto” is a surname common among Goan and Mangalorean Catholic families, typically paired here with a Hindu (Punjabi) side of the family — making hers a household where both traditions are visibly present rather than one replacing the other.
What Hasn’t Been Confirmed
Several lower-quality biography sites list her parents by name and describe her mother’s profession in ways that contradict a legitimate 2026 Bollywood Hungama interview, which only confirms that her mother produces reality TV shows and her father also works in the industry — without naming either parent’s religion directly. Those uncorroborated details are best treated as unverified, and Pinto herself has not given a direct public quote naming her personal religious identity.

Is Vedika Pinto Hindu or Christian?
Based on the only sourced account of her family background, she comes from a mixed Hindu and Catholic household — not exclusively one or the other.
Has Vedika Pinto spoken about her religion directly?
No verified interview has her personally describing her religious identity in her own words; the interfaith detail comes from a journalist describing her home, not a personal statement.
