Actor Hugo converts to Islam

Former pra’ek and singer Hugo Chakrapong will convert to Islam in order to marry his long time girlfriend actress Hana Tudsanawalai. The wedding is set for March 21, 2009. They will have a traditional Muslin morning ceremony and the evening reception will be held at the palace Chakrapong, his pad. Her dowry will be a measly 126 baht ($3.60 USD), adhering to the Muslim custom of small dowries. They will have bridal homes in 3 places: New York, England, and Thailand.

Hugo loves her and doesn’t see the point of waiting to marry compared to other stars in his age group.

“I feel a sense of fun when I’m with her. When I was working aboard, I had a thought to make my life more meaningful. Both myself and Hana work in the entertainment business and we meet a lot of people, but I have never felt this way about anyone and that is how I realized she was the one. Other people in the entertainment business in my same age group are afraid to get marry, but as for us, I don’t see the point of waiting.”

As for converting to Islam, no one forced him, he wanted to do it for her. Good for him and lucky for her.
