Swara Bhasker has expressed her support for Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal as they prepare for their wedding, set for June 23. The couple’s upcoming nuptials have sparked significant discussion on social media, with fans eagerly anticipating the event while others debate the topic of interfaith marriages in the entertainment industry.
In a recent interview with Connect Cine, Swara Bhasker addressed the trolling aimed at Sonakshi and Zaheer regarding their interfaith relationship.
Reflecting on the criticism she faced after marrying Samajwadi Party’s Fahad Ahmad, Swara stated,
“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. Many experts had their opinions about my wedding too. 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-wasting debate.”
Swara further commented,
“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.”
