What Fahad Ahmed said about their sexual orientation
While speaking to Amrita Rao and RJ Anmol on their YouTube channel for ‘Couple of Things’, Fahad said, "Her parents are well-educated. Her mother is a JNU professor, her father was a respected Naval officer and also a columnist. In my house, I am the first person to study beyond Class 10. She is from Delhi, and I come from a small town named Baheri, which is not even a district. She is a Brahmin, I am a Pasmanda Muslim which comes under OBC. The only common thing is our sexual orientation, both of us are straight. Besides that, we have breached all barriers of caste, religion, cities, and so on."
The media outlet instead wrote, “Swara Bhasker loved sex and that’s what brought us closer.”

Swara Bhasker slams media outlet for misinterpreting
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Swara wrote, This headline and this article show how low the level of journalism in India has fallen. In the interview, Fahad jokingly says that all our social identities are different except that our “sexual orientation” is the same – that is, both are cis-gender heterosexual…@news24tvchannel understood what this means!! A perfect mixture of ignorance and vulgarity!!!”
