Swara Bhasker, who had to face backlash from social media users for her interfaith marriage, has recently shared her opinion on Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal’s wedding. Swara has been married to a social activist Fahad Ahmad since 2023 and been blessed with a daughter on the same year. The actress recently opened up about her views on Sonakshi’s marriage and stated that it’s her decision completely and she called the ‘interfaith marriage debate’ useless. She also said that modern India’s biggest myths is ‘love jihad’. 

In an interview with Connect Cine, Swara said “One of the biggest myths of modern India is ‘love jihad’, where a Hindu girl marries a Muslim man. This applies to me as well. An interfaith couple can actually get beaten up in certain cities on Valentine’s Day.”

She added, “Lots of experts offered their opinions during my wedding as well. But we’re talking about two consenting adults here. What they do in their private lives, whether they get married or not, it’s up to them. It’s nobody’s business if they’re living together, getting married in a court, or having a nikaah, or an Arya Samaj wedding. It’s between the man and the woman, and their families. It’s Sonakshi’s life; she’s chosen her partner. Her partner has chosen her. Now it’s between them and their families. I find this a very time-waste debate.”

“Wait and watch, when they have a child, there will be a separate debate around the child’s name. We’ve seen it happen with Kareena and Saif’s kids, and with my kid. It’s completely idiotic, but this isn’t going to end anytime soon,” she concluded. 

As per reports, Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal are all set to get married in an intimate ceremony in Mumbai on June 23. Reportedly, the couple had dated for seven years.
