Love can often conquer even the most significant differences, and the union of Swara Bhaskar and Fahad Ahmad is a perfect example of this. The Swara and Fahad got married in February last year. In a recent interview on the podcast ‘Couple of Things’, the couple shared their unique love story. It was hosted by Amrita Rao and her husband Anmol.
Fahad Ahmad on marrying Swara Bhaskar
Fahad said, “There was linguistic difference. Her mother was a professor at JNU, and her father was a respected Naval officer, who would also write columns for English newspapers. In my house, no one had even passed the 10th standard. I was the first guy who got the opportunity to study and I did my PhD from Tata Institute.”
Ahmad pointed out the urban-rural divide between them. He explains that he comes from a small area in Bareilly that isn’t even a district. They also have different religions — he is a pasmanda Muslim, while she is a Brahmin. He further added, “There was an urban-rural divide. I come from a small part–which isn’t even a district– of Bareilly city. Even our religion is different. I am a pasmanda Muslim, which comes under OBC, she is a Brahmin. The only thing common was our sexual orientation, we both are straight. We have crossed all barriers, of caste, religion, cities-villages, and class. It is challenging, but full of fun.”

At this point, Swara said, “There is one more difference. I am older than him!” Fahad quipped that Swara always reveals this bit to people, but he is fine as there is “nothing to hide”.

Swara and Fahad recounted their first meeting in December 2019, which was a striking encounter as they discovered they had not a single common interest or point of connection. Despite their vastly different social backgrounds and caste, their love blossomed, and they eventually decided to tie the knot. Swara Bhasker and Fahad Ahmad have a daughter named Raabiya, who has turned 1 year old today.
