In Bareilly, actor Swara Bhasker, had her ‘walima’, traditional post-wedding reception, at her husband, activist-politician Fahad Ahmad’s hometown
For the ceremony, Swara and Fahad opted for outfits designed by Pakistani designer Ali Xeeshan. The outfits had quite the journey as they travelled from Lahore to Bareilly via Dubai
"My Walima outfit came all the way from Lahore via Dubai- Bombay-Delhi finally to Bareilly! I’ve long marvelled at the talent of #AliXeeshan. When I called him with an idea of wearing his work @ Walima, his warmth & generosity made me admire the person," wrote Swara on her Twitter handle
"Ali Xeeshan not only sent Jodi outfits for @FahadZirarAhmad & me, but customised them painstakingly with personalised details & messages embroidered into the exquisite garments. My sarhad-paar ki bestie @Natrani came to our rescue & enabled the outfits to reach Dubai," she further wrote
"From sarhad paar Annie rescued me in crisis. Ali who has never met me & is based in Lahore managed to send me my dream outfit for a wedding finale! Makes me realise love & friendship cannot be contained in borders & boundaries. Feeling blessed & grateful," shared Swara
