Swara Bhasker hints at her grand wedding celebration with Fahad Ahmad in March
Revealing her marriage plans, Swara said she may be quite frugal for her wedding celebrations in March, which she has yet to plan.
Bollywood actor Swara Bhasker who announced her court marriage with Samajwadi Party leader Fahad Ahmad on Thursday has now said the couple is planning for a shehnai wali shaadi. If reports are to be believed, Swara and Fahad will opt for a grand wedding in March.
Revealing her marriage plans, Swara said she may be quite frugal for her wedding celebrations in March, which she has yet to plan.
Sharing her column on celebrity weddings in a news portal, the Janhit Mein Jaari actor talked about extravagant royal weddings like that of Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra. She said she has spent many hours searching destination wedding locations that she knows well she can ill afford; thinking just in case she signs a Hollywood film worth millions of dollars!
She further said she has been stalking the couture collections of various designers for some years now, picking out outfits for her fictional wedding. She went on to say that she may even have spent an extra week or two dating some people, who were evidently not the right person for her (nor was she for them), but the Instagram couple pictures would look so good, or they could afford the dream destination wedding!
She said she decided to do a simple calculation of what this fantasy, Instagram-worthy wedding would cost her. Ending the column, she said she declared to her father that if she has the ideal wedding that she wants, she will step into married life broke and in debt! He chuckled, Let us hope you pick a partner with better sense than you!
Swara also posted an appreciation post on Twitter for the Special Marriage Act which allows interfaith marriages. She tweeted, Three cheers for the Special Marriage Act (despite notice period etc.) At least it exists and gives love a chance… The right to love, the right to choose your life partner, the right to marry, and the right to agency, should not be a privilege.
The Veere Di Wedding actor surprised her fans yesterday after she posted a beautiful timeline video of her and Fahad’s love story on social media. She captioned the video, Sometimes you search far and wide for something that was right next to you all along. We were looking for love, but we found friendship first. And then we found each other! Welcome to my heart Fahad Zirar Ahmad. It’s chaotic but it’s yours!
