Swara Bhasker: Bollywood actor Swara Bhasker, who turns a year older today on April 9, is rightly called a controversy queen. Apart from her acting talent, she also makes it to headlines with her controversial statements. Be it her tweets on the Padmaavat, Indian army or hijab row, the Tanu Weds Manu actor never shies away from expressing her opinion. Even her wedding recently with Samajwadi Party leader Fahad Ahmad created uproar on social media. She was criticsed for marrying outside her religion. Today she is celebrating first birthday after marriage.
Delhi-born Swara is also known for her outspoken nature. She has very strong views on various social and political issues. Here is a list of controversial statements by Swara Bhaskar:
Pathaan controversy
Swara gave a fitting reply to a minister who criticed Deepika Padukone for wearing bikini in the Besharam Rang. She said, “Mujhe lagta hai ki hamare neta actresses ke kapde kam dekhein aur apne kaam pe zyada focus karein toh zyada acha hoga” (our ministers should focus on their own work rather than commenting on an actor’s clothes).
Jauhar scene in Padmaavat
The actor wrote an open letter to Sanjay Leela Bhansali, director of Padmaavat. She wrote that the last scene of the film made her feel reduced to a vagina. She added that there was no need to glorify Jauhar. Her letter invited sharp reactions on social media with many people writing that there was no need to make a controversy here.
Views on hijab row
Swara was brutally trolled when she compared the hijab controversy to Draupadi’s cheerharan in Mahabharat. In a tweet, she mentioned how Draupadi was disrobed in the Mahabharata and the powerful law-makers sitting in the assembly watched silently. She compared it to the present situation.
Slams Paresh Rawal
Swara slammed actor Paresh Rawal for his tweets on Arundhati Roy. He had said that the renowned author should suffer the same fate as one stone pelter did (tied to a jeep by an army man). Reacting sharply to the remark, Swara said she statement was disgusting. She was again trolled as people went after her and called her anti-national.
Tweets on the Army
The Ranjhanaa actor comes from an army background where her mother was a professor in JNU. However, Swara created a lot of ruckus in 2018 when she called the army stupid. She was trolled fiercely.
