Swara Bhasker announces pregnancy, faces netizens' wrath for getting pregnant within 4 months

Actress Swara Bhasker revealed on Tuesday that she and husband Fahad Ahmad are expecting their first child.

She flaunted her baby bump on Instagram and soon after, readers flooded the comments section, claiming that the film industry has a new tradition of getting pregnant first and then getting married. Bhasker married Ahmad on 16 February and announced her pregnancy approximately 3.5 months later.

Netizens' reaction

One user wrote, "It's the new Bollywood trend pregnant first then shadhi." “The real reason for getting married is outside!! Typical copy of A-list actors!!” commented another. Some also asked how she is in her fifth month of pregnancy as it has only been four months since the wedding. One netizen wrote, “4 months shadi ko and 5 months ki pregnancy? so-called Bollywood.” While some claimed that they only got married because she was pregnant.

Celebrities with premarital pregnancies

Alia Bhatt revealed her pregnancy two months after marrying Ranbir Kapoor. After only seven months of marriage, the couple had a daughter. Neha Dhupia also said that she was pregnant before she married Angad Bedi. Kalki Koechlin also opened up about her relationship with Guy Hershberg, revealing that she was pregnant with their first child before they got married.

Swara Bhasker and Fahad Ahmad's wedding celebration started in Delhi with traditional events and ended with Walima in Bareilly. Fahad, who is a political figure, threw a traditional post-wedding function at his birthplace, Bareilly.
