Swara Bhasker Faces Nestle Row

The controversy began earlier this week when Bhasker posted a video of herself making fruit cream, a dish she described as her small contribution to the family meal. Alert followers noticed the use of Nestle Milkmaid in the recipe. Nestle has been a long-standing target of various boycotts, and more recently, pro-Palestine groups have included it on lists due to the company's business connections in Israel. Swara Bhasker Reveals Her Thoughts on Her Relationship With Husband Fahad Ahmad Amid Rising Breakups and Divorces in Bollywood.

Swara Bhasker Responds to Boycott Row

In a video addressing the feedback, Bhasker acknowledged the oversight and explained that she is still adjusting her household habits to align with her advocacy. “I noticed that a lot of you pointed out that Nestle is on the boycott list because of Palestine and their Zionist connections and that I was using Nestle Milkmaid. To be honest, I didn't remember and it didn't strike me," Bhasker said. "I'm a big advocate of BDS and I try very hard to practice it as much as I can... but it is a process and I will say that I'm still learning.”

Swara Bhasker Reveals Brand Switch

Bhasker further disclosed that her family has been auditing other daily essentials to ensure compliance with the boycott lists. She specifically mentioned switching diaper brands for her daughter, Raabiyaa, after realising the previous brand, Pampers (owned by Procter & Gamble), was also on the list. “Very recently we've switched Rabu's diapers from Pampers because I noticed that Pampers was also on the boycott list," she added. "I just wanted to say thank you so much for pointing that out and I will try and be as careful as I can. Lots of love and free Palestine.” P&G has faced boycott calls primarily due to its research and development operations within the Israeli market. ‘We Are All Bisexuals’: Did Swara Bhasker Just Come Out in Front of Husband Fahad Ahmad?

Swara Bhasker Marks Anniversary Amid Row

This interaction follows Bhasker’s active participation in pro-Palestine protests in Mumbai over the past year. During those demonstrations, she has publicly called for a broader understanding of the conflict, stating that the global conversation regarding hostages must also account for the loss of Palestinian lives. The recent social media activity also marked her third wedding anniversary with husband Fahad Ahmad. Bhasker shared a series of "heartfelt pictures" documenting their court marriage, traditional ceremonies, and candid moments with their child. The couple, who married three years ago, frequently share how they celebrate both Hindu and Muslim festivals within their household.
