Actress Swara Bhasker, known for her bold statements and active social media presence, recently took to her X (formerly Twitter) account to address the backlash over her wardrobe choices post-marriage. The actress, married to Samajwadi Party youth leader Fahad Ahmad since January 2023, sarcastically dismissed the criticism, calling it a “national cyber debate.”

“I didn’t realise my wardrobe choices post marriage are a national cyber debate (bizarre!).. Here are more pics of me post marriage to give Sanghi vermin more fodder for their dung 💩. I’m sorry @FahadZirarAhmad doesn’t fit your stereotype of a conservative Muslim husband. Lol!” Swara wrote, sharing additional photos to counter the narrative.

The outspoken actress frequently confronts online trolls, unapologetically standing her ground. Earlier this year, she responded to a food blogger’s declaration of pride in being vegetarian, accusing her of “smug self-righteousness” and highlighting the ethical complexities of vegetarianism.

Swara and Fahad Ahmad, who welcomed their first child, a baby girl, in June 2023, have often been in the public eye for their unconventional marriage and progressive views. Despite the scrutiny, Swara continues to challenge stereotypes and advocate for individuality.

Professionally, Swara Bhasker has been on a hiatus from acting. She was last seen in the 2018 film Veere Di Wedding, alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan and Sonam Kapoor.

This incident is a reminder of the heightened attention public figures face in personal and professional matters, with Swara using her platform to address societal expectations and prejudices head-on.
