Sunny Miti, a 25-year-old resident of Derm originally from Bangladesh, has been the center of controversy among
fans of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days for his insistence that his girlfriend Vae convert to Islam. The couple met
about a year ago when Vea, a 27-year-old from Florida, traveled to meet Sunny in person, accompanied by a camera
crew and her ex-boyfriend, Rory. This initial meeting set the stage for a complex relationship filled with tension and cultural differences.
A Rocky Start
The complications began when Sunny discovered that Vea’s ex-boyfriend, Rory, had joined her on her trip. Although Vea experienced anxiety and was traveling outside of the U.S. for the first time, needing Rory for emotional support, Sunny’s initial acceptance of their friendship soon turned to concern about Vea’s religious beliefs. His adamant position on her converting to Islam created a significant strain on their relationship.
Despite Vea’s apparent affection for Sunny, it became clear that their relationship might not withstand the pressure of such demands. Vea, caught in a tug-of-war between her feelings for Sunny and his insistence on religious conversion, struggled to understand the full implications of what she was experiencing.
Compounded Issues
Sunny’s expectations raised alarm bells for fans, particularly when he expressed a desire to enjoy a romantic relationship with Vea while simultaneously demanding she change her faith. The couple met on a dating app, where Sunny, attracted to Vea’s colorful hair and sense of humor, swiped right, perhaps without fully considering the implications of their differing backgrounds.
In a notable scene from Episode 16, Sunny’s father crossed a line by criticizing Vea’s tattoos, which held deep personal significance, including one that honored her late brother. He made it clear that if Vea wished to continue her relationship with Sunny, conversion was non-negotiable. Sunny’s failure to stand up for Vea against his father’s comments further complicated matters, leading many viewers to question his commitment to her well-being.
A Commemoration Turned Complicated
In Episode 17, Sunny and Vea attempted to celebrate their one-year anniversary with a vacation to Drakensberg, but the underlying tensions remained palpable. Sunny grappled with the importance of having a Muslim wife and ominously stated that if Vea refused to convert, their relationship could not progress.
In stark contrast, Vea has been vocal on her Instagram, openly stating her lack of interest in converting to Islam. Her stance adds another layer of complexity to their relationship, highlighting the challenges posed by their differing beliefs.
The Future of Sunny and Vea
As the couple continues to navigate the cultural and religious divide, fans are left wondering if Sunny will ultimately learn to respect Vea’s wishes. Both need to confront the uncomfortable truth regarding their differing viewpoints and what that means for their future together.
The unfolding drama raises important questions about cultural differences and the expectations placed on partners in intercultural relationships. For now, viewers remain engaged, curious to see if love can transcend these significant hurdles and whether Sunny and Vea can find common ground or if they will ultimately go their separate ways.
