For actress and activist Swara Bhasker, this Diwali brought multiple joys.

Obviously we were excited.”

Swara is stationed in Delhi ever since her baby was born for the baby’s safety. “So it was an intimate home scene. Fahad came from Bombay to be with us on this special day. The AQI in Delhi is quite hazardous and our dear Raabu is only seven weeks old, so we are obviously avoiding any outings. It was a cosy intimate home scene with family and close friends.”

As for the Diwali celebrations, Swara was in sur with the rest of the country. She said, “Like everyone in India celebrating, we also did a Lakshmi Puja at home before lighting up the house with diyas and lights. Raabu wore her first lehenga on the day and like all new moms I’m excited about every small and big thing related to her!” she said.

Swara says her husband was equally excited to celebrate his first Diwali with their baby. “Fahad is also very gung-ho about our changed life, and he came to Delhi to celebrate Diwali with my family. Coincidentally we’ve spent the last two Diwalis together at house parties but we were ‘just friends’ then, so this year is a big leap into marriage and parenthood!”

Quipping on her inter-religious marriage Swara said, “The advantage of a mixed marriage is that they’re always more reasons to celebrate and share joy and amazing food! Double the celebrations double the fun!”
