In a recent interaction, Fahad Ahmad, husband of actress Swara Bhasker, didn't hold back his opinion on Kangana Ranaut's political career, calling her a "bad politician". This occurred during a conversation where the couple was asked to assign hashtags to celebrities.
Ahmad, a member of the political party NCP(SP), didn't mince words when Kangana's name was brought up. He stated, "I can't comment on her because she is a bad politician, but I will say #BadPolitician". He justified his statement by pointing to the flood-affected Mandi region, Kangana's Lok Sabha constituency, and her perceived inaction as a Member of Parliament. According to Ahmad, Kangana allegedly said, "What can I do? I am not the Prime Minister. I'm not a Minister". He argued that it is a representative's job to advocate for their constituency and that Kangana should have fought for special funds, transcending political affiliations. Despite his criticism of her political performance, Ahmad acknowledged Ranaut's acting skills, stating, "She is a really good actor and I really like her as an actor, but she is a very bad politician".
Swara Bhasker, on the other hand, offered a different perspective on Kangana Ranaut. While visibly surprised by her husband's blunt assessment, she chose to focus on Ranaut's perseverance and journey. Bhasker said, "I will say #Destiny'sChild. There is something very admirable about her and her journey and #NeverGiveUp, I don't think she gives up in life".
Notably, despite their differing political ideologies and occasional social media clashes, Kangana Ranaut had extended warm wishes to Swara Bhasker and Fahad Ahmad on their marriage in 2023. Ranaut had congratulated the couple, writing, "You both look happy and blessed. That's God's Grace … marriages happen in the hearts rest all are formalities". Ahmad also recalled this gesture, acknowledging that Kangana had written a nice message about their compatibility. Even so, he repeated his "#BadPolitician" tag, prompting Swara to playfully chide him, saying, "Pachas bar maat bol (Don't say it 50 times)".
The contrasting opinions of Swara Bhasker and Fahad Ahmad highlight the complexities of their relationship with Kangana Ranaut, acknowledging both her personal gestures and professional choices. It also underscores the differing perspectives on what constitutes effective political representation.
