Actor Swara Bhasker who had been in the news recently for her comments on ‘Padmaavat’, has again created a stir on social media as has opened up about her reaction to the Supreme Court’s 2019 Ayodhya verdict. Swara said that she felt ashamed of the verdict as a Hindu and texted every Muslim in her phonebook after that, including Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan.Recalling her immediate reaction after the November 9, 2019 verdict, Swara said on The Midnight Hour podcast, “When the Ram Janmbhoomi verdict came, I was so upset. I was like, what is this country’. I felt it was unfair. I messaged all the Muslims in my phonebook, right from Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan to Fahad Ahmad. I messaged them, ‘As a Hindu, I’m really sorry and I’m ashamed’ and then whatever I wanted to vent out.“Swara’s comments have since drawn reactions on social media, with several X users criticising her response to the judgment.One user wrote, “Swara Bhasker was upset over the Ram Mandir verdict. Sometimes I genuinely feel bad for her; she spends day and night praising Bollywood, hoping to get work, but somehow the work never comes (sic).”Another wrote, “SWARA felt sorry for the Ram Janmabhoomi verdict. We feel sorry for Swara. She saw a court order. We saw Ram. Only Punyatmas can see Him (sic).”A third X user said, “She’s ashamed about Ram Temple & the SC order on it. So she approached all the Khans of the industry to sympathies with them. But did they seek her sympathy? She thinks she is one great female. She doesn’t know what NRC, CAA or BNSS and still talks big. Have you ever heard a non-Hindu whether married to a Hindu or not, saying she or he is ashamed of the construction of a Mosque here or there?”The user further added, “They have no guts to talk anything about the dark side of non-Hindu religions. And Hindus tolerate such characters in their community. We were, we are and we will always be proud of Ram Temple. The foundation was disturbed when temples were brought down during Mughal raj. She should be supporting the restoration of the temple. There are more who were ruined by the Mughal kings. You will have many more opportunities to send messages to a lot of people (sic).”Swara Bhasker reveals Umar Khalid played cupid in her love storyDuring the same podcast, Swara also spoke about her relationship with husband Fahad Ahmad and revealed that former JNU student leader and research scholar Umar Khalid played a key role in bringing them together.Fahad, who was a close friend of Khalid, recalled that Khalid gave him Swara’s number and encouraged him to call her. Swara also acknowledged his role in their relationship, saying, “Khalid was our cupid. He was the person who connected us.” Khalid was arrested by the Delhi Police on September 13, 2020, under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) in connection with the alleged larger conspiracy behind the 2020 Northeast Delhi riots.Fahad said he took his friend’s advice and called Swara. He jokingly recalled that even after three years of marriage, getting her to answer his calls could be difficult, although she picked up his call within a few rings that time.Swara explained that she generally does not answer calls from unknown numbers. However, she made an exception because she was actively involved in the movement against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and was responding to people connected with the protests.The two first crossed paths during the anti-CAA protests, where they were both active. Their first selfie together was also clicked at one of the rallies.Swara had confirmed in February 2023 that the “mystery man” she had hinted at in an earlier social media post was Fahad. The couple submitted their marriage documents in January 2023 and registered their marriage under the Special Marriage Act on February 16, 2023, in the presence of their family members and close friends. They welcomed their daughter, Raabiyaa, in September 2023.
