Star Trek Secretly Confirms Fan-Favorite Romance

Regardless, the remaining cast of the show and die-hard Star Trek fans are keenly aware (and endlessly interested) in the relationship between the two characters, referring to the two as “Garashir” for many years. 

Actors Andy Robinson and Alexander Siddig have publicly encouraged the relationship between the two DS9 characters in the years since the show aired. They met up in 2020 at a convention to read “Garashir” fanfiction, and Robinson even published a novel that centers around Garak writing to Bashir.
