Bollywood actress Swara Bhasker, known to give befitting replies on social media, recently called out a news portal for misinterpreting her husband Fahad Ahmad's recent comment on their sexual orientation. Swara shared screenshots of the article that made comments about their sex life instead, inviting a strong reaction from the actress.

What Fahad Ahmed said about their sexual orientation

While speaking to Amrita Rao and RJ Anmol on their YouTube channel for ‘Couple of Things', Fahad said, "Her parents are well-educated. Her mother is a JNU professor, her father was a respected Naval officer and also a columnist. In my house, I am the first person to study beyond Class 10. She is from Delhi, and I come from a small town named Baheri, which is not even a district. She is a Brahmin, I am a Pasmanda Muslim which comes under OBC. The only common thing is our sexual orientation, both of us are straight. Besides that, we have breached all barriers of caste, religion, cities, and so on."

The media outlet instead wrote, "Swara Bhasker loved sex and that's what brought us closer."

Swara Bhasker married Fahad Ahmad in February 2023 in court under the Special Marriage Act. They are parents to baby girl Raabiyaa born in September of the same year.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Swara wrote, This headline and this article show how low the level of journalism in India has fallen. In the interview, Fahad jokingly says that all our social identities are different except that our "sexual orientation" is the same - that is, both are cis-gender heterosexual…@news24tvchannel understood what this means!! A perfect mixture of ignorance and vulgarity!!!"
