Swara Bhasker SLAMS Troll Over Casteist Remark On Husband Fahad Ahmad: ‘Nothing Wrong With...'
Last Updated: Swara Bhasker slams a troll for using a casteist slur against husband Fahad Ahmad, calling out classism and explaining the derogatory term's meaning. Swara Bhasker is never the one to mince her words, especially on hot-button topics such as feminism, communalism, and casteism. The actor proved that yet again when a social media user targeted her husband, political leader Fahad Ahmad, with a casteist slur. What Happened A social media user, who describes himself as an Ambedkarite and a liberal in his X bio, recently shared a post on the microblogging platform in which he made a casteist remark about Fahad Ahmad. He also referred to Ahmad as 'a street vendor from Dongri" after seeing the couple feature on the ongoing reality show Pati Patni Aur Panga – Jodiyon Ka Reality Check, hosted on Colors TV by Munawar Faruqui and Sonali Bendre. Swara's Sharp Response A day later, Swara shared screenshots of the activist's post on X and called him out for his choice of words. She wrote, 'This twit who describes himself both as a proud Hindu and Ambedkarite does not seem to know that Chhapri is a casteist slang… a derogatory term used to describe a community that fixes 'chappars' or thatched huts. Also nothing wrong with being a street vendor from Dongri or anywhere you casteist / classist trash-brain! #casteistAlert." This twit who describes himself both as a proud Hindu and Ambedkarite does not seem to know that Chhapri is a casteist slang.. a derogatory term used to describe a community that fixes 'chappars' or thatched huts. Also nothing wrong with being a street vendor from Dongri or… — Swara Bhasker (@ReallySwara) August 6, 2025 By directly addressing both the term used and the classist undertones of the insult, Swara made it clear she wasn't just defending her husband — she was taking aim at the larger problem of discriminatory language disguised as casual commentary. The Larger Context Swara, known for being vocal about her political opinions, often addresses social injustice, be it misogyny, communalism, or casteism. This instance is no exception. She didn't just refute the insult — she unpacked why the term 'Chhapri" is offensive and why such rhetoric is harmful, regardless of who it's aimed at. Her post not only defended Fahad Ahmad but also sent a pointed reminder to her followers and critics alike: casteist or classist slurs have no place in public discourse. Once again, the Veere Di Wedding star has reinforced her reputation as one of Bollywood's most outspoken voices, unafraid to call out prejudice — wherever it comes from.
