Who is Fahad Ahmad

Fahad, who is currently serving as the State President of Samajwadi Yuvjan Sabha, a youth wing of the Samajwadi Party in Maharashtra, was a student leader when they met. He was born in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, in the year 1991 and completed his graduation from Aligarh Muslim University before heading to Mumbai for further studies.
As they met at a rally and then developed a strong bond, Swara and Fahad found their love blossoming amid protests and social events.

In 2018, when the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) decided on withdrawing its financial aid to the SC, ST, and OBC students eligible for the Union government’s post-matriculation scholarship, Fahad emerged as the strongest voice of dissent. So much so that the institute even withheld his registration from the Ph.D. program. He was the general secretary during that time and held the strike for over 300 days.

Friends and well wishers are congratulating the new couple on social media ..Kangana Ranaut took to her Twitter handle and expressed her joy for their union. She said, “You both look happy and blessed. That’s God’s Grace … marriages happen in the hearts rest all are formalities.”
