Actor Swara Bhasker married politician Fahad Ahmad in 2023 and welcomed their daughter, Raabiyaa Rama, in the same year. On SCREEN’s The Suvir Saran Show, Swara opened up about her belief in multiple cultures and religions and how she is raising her daughter with exposure to diverse traditions. The actor also reflected on her own childhood and how her father creatively introduced mythological epics like the Ramayan and Mahabharat into her life.

Speaking about her upbringing, Swara shared, “When I was a child, I wouldn’t eat, so my father used to tell stories of Ramayan and the Mahabharat. He would ask me to eat food, and before the climax of the story, he would ask me to finish everything on my plate before telling me the ending. It’s such a beautiful and seamless way to introduce children to culture.”

The Suvir Saran Show is presented by Amul, in association with Coca-Cola and The Lalit as hospitality partner.

Discussing her approach to parenting and her desire to expose Raabiyaa to all religions and traditions, Swara Bhasker said, “I don’t disbelieve in anything. Now that our daughter, Raabiyaa Rama, is born, I keep telling Fahad, ‘Let’s perform on her the rituals associated with all religions and cultures so that she’s protected.’ We did all the rituals for her from every side, and then I was like, ‘Koi Christian ritual bhi hai kya? (Is there any Christian ritual?)'”
