Anushakti Nagar results: Fahad Ahmad, actor Swara Bhaskar’s husband, leads

Fahad Ahmad, husband of actor Swara Bhaskar and NCP (SCP) leader, is leading by a slender margin against Sana Malik of the Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) in Maharashtra’s Anushakti Nagar constituency. Fahad quit the Samajwadi Party in October to join the NCP (SCP).
The Anushakti Nagar constituency has been a bastion of NCP veteran Nawab Malik. Nawab Malik won the Anushakti Nagar seat in 2019, 2014, and 2009. The NCP fielded Nawab Malik’s daughter Sana from the seat this time. Nawab Malik contested from the Mankhurd-Shivajinagar seat.
Fahad Ahmad was the state president of the Samajwadi Yuvjan Sabha, the youth wing of the Samajwadi Party’s Maharashtra unit. After graduating from Aligarh Muslim University in Uttar Pradesh, Fahad completed his M. Phil from Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai. He has been active in student politics.
Fahad married Bollywood actor Swara Bhaskar on February 16, 2023.
While announcing Fahad’s nomination for the Anushakti Nagar seat, NCP (SCP) leader Jayant Patil said, “Fahad Ahmad is a well-educated young Muslim youth and has worked as an activist across the country. People want us to give a chance to such leaders.”
