Bollywood actress Swara Bhasker and husband Fahad Ahmad made headlines with a public outing, elegantly reenacting the classic old-style romantic look from the immortal song Pyaar Hua Iqraar Hua. The song,
sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Manna Dey, is a personal favourite that has stood the test of time and the couple’s homage got the essence of it just right.
Carrying a big umbrella, the couple recreated the elegance of the classic black-and-white sequence rendered by Raj Kapoor and Nargis in the 1955 hit Shree 420. Swara had on an elegant black-and-white saree with gentle curls around her face, while Fahad had on a crisp grey suit and hat, replicating the retro look perfectly.
As they stood close, sharing a smile, Swara’s eyes sparkled with joy. The candid moment, set to the soulful tune of Pyaar Hua Iqraar Hua, made fans feel like they were watching a scene from another era.
Social Media Love
The clip, posted on Instagram as ‘Old-school romance, Swara & Fahad style,’ went viral in no time. Fans filled the comment section with affection. A fan commented, “You look like an angel ????”, as others posted heart emojis, appreciating the chemistry of the couple. The move wasn’t made for style—it was about the innocence and intensity of love that Indian films have celebrated over the decades.
Fahad Ahmad’s Journey
Fahad Ahmad is an Indian politician and student activist who is a current NCP (SP) member. He previously belonged to the Samajwadi Party and held the post of President of the Samajwadi Yuvjan Sabha in Maharashtra. With his social causes background, he has established himself as a grassroots activist.

Romance That Feels Real

Each smile, look and movement that passed between Swara and Fahad exuded true love. It served as a reminder to fans that in the speedy life of today, something as basic as holding each other under an umbrella during rain could still be very romantic.

Their Pyaar Hua Iqraar Hua remake is a soft-spoken reminder of the power of cinema to bridge generations. It proves that stories decades old still have resonance, not just as movies, but as experiences that couples can live and enjoy in real life.
