Bhasker defends 'Jauhar' critique in 'Padmaavat' and calls backlash manufactured
Entertainment
Swara Bhasker is speaking out again about the backlash she faced for criticizing the Jauhar scene in Padmaavat back in 2018.
She says the outrage was manufactured and claims trolls are twisting her words just to make money.
Swara clarified that she never called the women involved cowardly: she simply shared how, if she had been a rape survivor, seeing such scenes glorified felt deeply unsettling.
Bhasker accuses outlets of misquoting
Swara also pointed fingers at some media outlets for misquoting her and keeping the drama alive.
She joked that people profiting from these attacks should probably send her a thank-you note.
Standing by her original point, she said, "I felt that was a constructed controversy.", emphasizing how personal this issue is for her.
