New Delhi: Swara Bhasker and Fahad Ahmad of the Samajwadi Party tied the knot in Delhi. This month, the pair got married legally and the celebration went on for several days in the nation's capital. A video of Swara's vidai, the ritual marking the bride's departure from her parents' home, has just surfaced online. In the video, the star can be seen becoming emotional as someone reads a poem written especially for the occasion.
After the wedding, Swara is seen leaving her maternal home with Fahad, her brother Ishan Bhasker, and her mother Ira Bhasker while wearing a pink lehenga and gold jewellery. In the video, Swara Bhasker can be seen standing next to her mother Ira Bhasker and her husband Fahad Ahmad.
The video was posted on Twitter by Swara's friend, who wrote,"Seeing off bestie @ReallySwara on her vidai, an emotionally charged and overwhelming moment for all of us...tough guy, Ishan Bhaskar aka Abu, in shades for a reason and the gruff Commodore @theUdayB chose to remain out of frame. Special thanks to Muba."
She was directing the attention of the viewer to Swara's father, C. Uday Bhasker. On Twitter, he responded to the video and gave an explanation of why he wanted not to be in the shot.
“Thanks for sharing this poignant 'moment' @sinjini_m... as the Swara Bhasker wedding reached closure. Yes... the 'gruff' Commodore had good reason to stay out of frame... this is indeed an emotionally charged moment even for a 'khadus (rude)' dad... the 'bidai' of our dear @ReallySwara,” he wrote.
Fahad Ahmad, Swara's husband, works as the state president of Samajwadi Yuvjan Sabha, the youth organisation of the Samajwadi Party. This week's wedding event in Delhi was attended by everyone from Congressman Rahul Gandhi to Samajwadi Party chairman and former governor of Uttar Pradesh Akhilesh Yadav. The Samajwadi Party member Jaya Bachchan also attended the reception.
