Swara Bhasker on Sonakshi-Zaheer's wedding
In an interview with Connect Cine, Swara reflected on her own experiences of backlash after marrying Samajwadi Party member Fahad Ahmad. She said, “One of the biggest myths of modern India is ‘love jihad’, where a Hindu girl marries a Muslim man. This applies to me as well. An interfaith couple can actually get beaten up in certain cities on Valentine’s Day. Lots of experts offered their opinions during my wedding as well. But we’re talking about two consenting adults here. What they do in their private lives, whether they get married or not, it’s up to them. It’s nobody’s business if they’re living together, getting married in a court, or having a nikaah, or an Arya Samaj wedding. It’s between the man and the woman, and their families. It’s Sonakshi’s life; she’s chosen her partner. Her partner has chosen her. Now it’s between them and their families. I find this a very time-wasting debate.”
Swara further commented, “Wait and watch, when they have a child, there will be a separate debate around the child’s name. We’ve seen it happen with Kareena and Saif’s kids and with my kid. It’s completely idiotic, but this isn’t going to end anytime soon.”

Designed like a magazine cover, the invite reads, “We are making it official finally. The rumours were true so come celebrate with us at Bastian At the Top on 23rd June, 2024, 8:00 pm onwards.”
Sonakshi and Zaheer, who have been dating for more than seven years, have also worked together in the comedy-drama 'Double XL'.
