Actress Swara Bhasker has confirmed she is set to welcome a child through adoption. She said she has registered as a Prospective Adoptive Parent (PAP) with the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA), and is on the waiting list now to adopt a child.
“I’ve always wanted a family and children. I realised that adoption was a way to marry both these things. Luckily in India, the State allows single women to adopt. I met many couples who have adopted children, met some children who were adopted and are now almost adults and I read up a bit on adoption – the process and experience,” the Indian Express quoted her as saying.
Speaking to Mid-Day, Swara said, “I’ve always wanted a family and children. I realised that adoption was a way to marry these things. Luckily in India, the State allows single women to adopt.

On the work front, Swara was last seen in Amazon Prime Video series Rasbhari, and Netflix series Bhaag Beanie Bhaag. She will also be seen in a same-sex love story Sheer Qorma, also starring Divya Dutta and Shabana Azmi. She won the best supporting actress award for the film at the Soho London Independent Film Festival recently.
