In a heartwarming episode of COLORS’ Dhamaal with Pati Patni Aur Panga, actress Swara Bhasker experienced a deeply personal and emotional surprise — one that took her straight back to her childhood dreams.
Swara revealed that as a young girl growing up in Delhi, she had always dreamed of coming to Mumbai, becoming an actress, and one day seeing her poster on the back of an auto rickshaw — a symbol of having “made it” in Bollywood.
Her husband, political activist Fahad Ahmad, decided to turn that dream into reality. During the show, Fahad took Swara on a date through Mumbai’s bustling streets — the city where she built her acting career and identity. The magical moment arrived when an auto rickshaw pulled up in front of them, proudly displaying Swara’s poster on its back.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Swara shared,
“When I was a girl growing up in Delhi, I used to tell myself, ‘One day, I’ll go to Mumbai, I’ll act in movies, and my picture will be on the back of an auto like the heroines I admired.’ I always wanted my poster on the back of an auto and Fahad made it happen. For me, this dream stood for the feeling that you’ve made it in life. So, when Fahad planned this surprise… I was stunned. I’m so grateful and blessed to have someone who takes my dreams seriously, who remembers the little things I once said, maybe in passing. I’ll take this thoughtfulness over grand gestures any day. There is something incredibly intimate about being seen, heard and loved like that. I can’t thank Dhamaal with Pati Patni Aur Panga enough for giving us this amazing moment.”
She added that such thoughtful gestures mean far more to her than grand celebrations, calling it “an incredibly intimate feeling to be seen, heard, and loved like that.” Swara also thanked Dhamaal with Pati Patni Aur Panga for creating the space for such a memorable moment.
