​Mumbai/IBNS: Actor-political activist Swara Bhasker on Thursday took to social media to announce her marriage to Samajwadi Party leader Fahad Zirar Ahmad.

The actor, known for her supporting roles in mainstream films and larger presence in crossover productions, posted a cute video with some of the adorable moments of the duo to relate her relationship journey with Ahmed, which she said started with friendship.

She captioned the video and wrote, "Sometimes you search far & wide for something that was right next to you all along. We were looking for love, but we found friendship first. And then we found each other! Welcome to my heart @FahadZirarAhmad It’s chaotic but it’s yours! (sic)"

The Veere Di Wedding actress, also known for her anti-BJP political views and even poll campaigns for the ruling party's opposition candidates like JNU student Kanhaiya Kumar in 2019 general elections, said that the couple had registered their wedding in court on January 6, 2023, under the Special Marriage Act.

Fahad is the Maharashtra Unit President of the Samajwadi Party youth wing, as per his Twitter handle bio.
