Swara Bhaskar Instagram – “The last thing I said ‘screw it’ to was the pressure to be married by a specific time. You know, the checklist that women often bear the burden of…to find a partner at any cost and ‘settle down’ by a certain age. This pressure never bothered me until I hit my mid-30s, and suddenly it became a thing, a discussion point, especially when everyone around me seemed to be getting married and having babies,” confessed Swara Bhasker (@reallyswara) ⠀⠀ Read our anniversary issue coverstar’s powerful words in the September-October issue of Cosmo India, out now.
