For a marriage to be valid as per Hindu Rituals both the spouses must be Hindus at the time of marriage as per section 5 of the Hindu Marriage Act. And, as you have mentioned it yourself that you converted to Hinduism after your marriage, therefore the said marriage is null and void. But if you had converted into hinduism before marriage the marriage would be valid and you can file for divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act and take specific plea that you had converted to Hinduism before marriage.
