“With grateful and happy hearts, thank you for your love! It’s a whole new world,” added the Rashbhari star at the end, thanking people for all the love she had received throughout her journey to becoming a mother and again sharing how happy and thankful she was for her little bundle of joy.

Swara and Fahad had a court marriage under the Special Marriage Act in January of this year as the two belong to different faiths and neither wished to convert for the sake of their religious union. Although the couple were legally married, Swara only officially announced their marriage a month later, in February, via a post on X (formerly Twitter). The months of February and March saw the couple celebrate their wedding with friends and family in a number of colourful events taken from the religious traditions of both the bride and the groom.

The pair announced their pregnancy back in June with a sweet post featuring the duo in an embrace and Swara sporting a small but visible baby bump.
