Swara Bhasker weighed in on the social media conversations surrounding Sonakshi Sinha’s wedding with Zaheer Iqbal. While fans are happy for Sonakshi, a section of social media users are fixated over the fact that she is marrying a Muslim man. Swara, who also had an interfaith marriage, opened up about the backlash Sonakshi is receiving and said that it is Sonakshi’s choice to marry whoever she wants and no one can say anything about it.
“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,” Swara told Connect Cine in a recent interview.
She added that the criticism is going to intensify if and when Sonakshi has a child. “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 said.
Sonakshi and Zaheer are getting married on June 23. Meanwhile, Swara married to Samajwadi Party’s Fahad Ahmad. They got married in court in February last year. They then hosted a fun week of wedding festivities for their family members. In June, Swara announced she was pregnant with her first baby and welcomed a daughter on September 23 last year. She recently celebrated her daughter’s first Bakrid.
