Swara Bhasker has always been upfront regarding her bold stance and has been unapologetically speaking her mind for as long as we can remember. Whether it is slamming journos for shaming Zaira Wasim, or her appeal to women to defend themselves against predators, she has never held back.
She recently did the same when she penned an open letter for Bhansali’s ‘Padmaavat’, a film which has been embroiled in controversy since its inception.
Despite the film acquiring praises from all sides, Swara wrote that the director has glorified Jauhar in his film. She added that this regressive stance of women killing themselves without even a social critique has made her feel like a ‘vagina’.
