Swara Bhasker responded to trolls questioning why her husband Fahad Ahmad didn't play Holi, explaining he was fasting for Ramazan and emphasized celebrating without forcing participation. Swara Bhasker is done with unsolicited opinions, and like always, she has made it loud and clear! The actress, known for speaking her mind, clapped back at trolls who questioned why her husband, activist Fahad Ahmad, didn’t play Holi this year. A few social media users took it upon themselves to comment on Fahad’s absence from Holi celebrations, making unnecessary remarks about religion and festivity.
This all started when Swara Bhasker gave fans a peek into her joyful Holi celebrations with her family on Instagram. The pictures showed her having a blast with husband Fahad Ahmad and their little one, Rabiya. While Swara and Rabiya were covered in vibrant Holi colors, Fahad remained colour-free—because he was fasting for Ramazan.
However, it didn’t take long for trolls to jump in with unnecessary comments. Some questioned why Fahad didn’t join in on the Holi colors, with one asking, “Why didn’t your husband apply colors?" Another sarcastically wrote, “Andh bhakt ka sawal: Tumhare husband ne rang kyu nahi lagaya?" (Blind devotee’s question: Why didn’t your husband play Holi?). Swara, never one to stay silent, swiftly shut them down with a sharp response.
Swara took to her Instagram stories to re-share the pictures and wrote, “Happy Holi ya’ll! Gentle reminder: it’s possible to celebrate our festivals and share joy WITHOUT forcing people to participate." Swara and Fahad tied the knot in February 2023 under the Special Marriage Act and welcomed their baby girl later that year. But being a high-profile interfaith couple, they’ve often found themselves in the crosshairs of online trolls.
Fahad, a Samajwadi Party leader, and Swara, known for her outspoken nature, have faced their fair share of unwarranted scrutiny. Despite the noise, the duo celebrated their wedding in style—with everything from a haldi and mehendi ceremony to a qawwali night. In a similar instance, actress Sonakshi Sinha, who tied the knot with actor Zaheer Iqbal in 2024, also had to shut down trolls questioning why Zaheer was missing from her Holi celebrations.
