The actor posted a comical reel on Instagram, taking a trip down memory lane while reminiscing about her impressive Diwali outfits from previous years. The video showcased the actor in her finest traditional ensembles for the festival over time. Towards the conclusion, she is depicted lying on her bed in her nightwear, cradling her baby Raabiyaa in her arms.

Despite missing out on the festive celebrations, she appeared to be revisiting cherished memories as she scrolled through her phone.

Bhasker, in her latest interview, shared her experience of giving birth and expressed her thanks to her medical team and family. While she considers childbirth a blessing, she acknowledges that it was a challenging process.

Swara Bhasker and Fahad Ahmad welcomed a baby girl into their family on 23rd September. Bhasker shared their happiness on social media by not only introducing glimpses of their adorable bundle of joy but also unveiling the baby's name which is Raabiyaa.

She said, “It’s a blessing. It’s also the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I can’t believe that women have done this for millennia without epidurals and multiple times. Fahad and I are so grateful for all the help and support we’ve had from our doctors the teams and staff the hospital and our family, friends and well-wishers. We are blessed to be enveloped in love. The birthing experience really makes you realise that we don’t thank our mothers enough."

While awaiting the arrival of their special one, the actor was presented with a lovely gift from her politician spouse. Ahmad, along with his friends, organised a surprise baby shower for Bhasker, which was attended by their close friends and family.

The actor had no prior knowledge of the preparations and was completely taken aback by the decorations. Bhasker posted several pictures from the baby shower on her Instagram account. She also shared a video in which she was pleasantly surprised to find all her loved ones gathered in a room while she casually 'arrived in pyjamas.' In the clip, she held Ahmad’s hand and confessed to being nearly 'clueless' and somewhat 'confused.' Bhasker also expressed her gratitude to her friends for 'thoughtfully coming up with this sweet plan and bringing it to life.'

In the next photo, Ahmad is seen cradling Bhasker’s baby bump as the couple poses for the camera. In another photo, Bhasker is seen lying on Ahmad’s lap, and in the last photo, the couple is seen sharing an intimate moment under an umbrella.

Sharing the photos on her Instagram handle, Bhasker captioned them, "Sometimes life grants you a blessing unexpectedly and sets you on a journey of both self-discovery and togetherness!"

The mom-to-be has been embracing the comfort-over-style formula while navigating through her pregnancy journey. She had kept it breezy, casual, and comfortable in her own way.

In a previous Instagram post, Bhasker was seen curled in her bed in the comfort of a pregnancy pillow, wearing a cosy floral dress. In another post, Bhasker shared the setting up of a crib for her baby in their bedroom. She was seen wearing comfortable-looking blue floral co-ords. The actor is surely in love with floral patterns, as she has been consistently looking ethereal in floral outfits.

Swara Bhasker announced her pregnancy on June 6. She shared a series of photos on her Instagram handle of herself sitting with her husband, Fahad Ahmad, on the terrace under the warm blue sky. The actor, dressed in a pink maxi dress, was seen flaunting her baby bump as she cosied next to her husband.

The actor-activist surprised her fans by sharing the news of her registered marriage to Fahad Ahmad on February 16, 2023, under the Special Marriage Act. They had a traditional wedding ceremony at Bhasker’s maternal grandmother’s house on March 15–16, 2023.
