Swara Bhasker and Fahad Ahmad recently made their way to a magazine cover after the actress and Fahad, who is state president of Samajwadi Yuvjan Sabha, registered their marriage a couple of weeks ago. The two even celebrated with friends and family at a grand reception in Delhi,.
Now in a recent joint interview, Swara and Fahad talked about their secret to a healthy relationship as they recalled their journey from friendship to love. Reportedly, the couple first met during a public protest in January 2020, and after keeping mum for a while, the two opened up about their relationship in February this year.
When asked what the secret to a successful relationship is, the actress told Brides Today, “I don’t want to give advice because our relationship is very new. But I think what enabled us to be together was that we accepted that we come from different worlds. In India, love comes with a lot of societal pressure. Young couples in India have to battle caste, class, and religion... But if you love each other, then fight the fear.”
She further talked about her relationship with Fahad, and said, “We need to acknowledge that we are two different people, hailing from different backgrounds, who have different lived experiences. I would say don’t change who you are fundamentally, but it is okay to step out of your comfort zone. That’s how you learn..." Fahad praised Swara for having a 'non-judgmental attitude towards everyone', and added that she was 'extremely supportive' towards him.
The couple, after their court marriage, hosted functions like haldi, mehendi, musical evening and sangeet, among others in New Delhi and Bareilly.
