Another image showed Swara and Akhilesh conversing and smiling while Fahad watched. There were also a few pictures of Akhilesh with Swara and her retired military father Uday Bhaskar from the celebrations.

In a recent interview, Swara and Fahad stated that they hope to ‘build a common tradition of celebrations’ through their wedding rituals including haldi, mehendi, sangeet, and qawwali night. Both Swara and Fahad expressed that they were “very conscious and proud” of being Muslims and Hindus, respectively.

In an interview, the pair stated, “We are both very conscious and proud of our identities and nobody wants to change anybody. We planned things that are common to both our traditions. Haldi is something that happens in both. It’s called ubtan in Muslims. Mehendi happens on both sides. Sangeet happens on both sides. In India, an interfaith couple that does not convert, can only get married in the court under the Special Marriage Act. That we have done. Now we are trying to build a common tradition of celebrations.”
