Trolls are at it again! Swara Bhaskar's tweet on polling day was greeted with barbs by some social media users who referred to her masturbation scene from 'Veere di Wedding'.
Just a reminder that we are living in the 21st century where men claim women are treated equally.
All Swara did was urge people to go out and vote. The actor later came out with a befitting reply.
On the day when 72 constituencies went to the polls in phase 4, Swara took to Twitter to urge people to exercise their vote. But, to everyone's shock, the actor was trolled by people holding a placard with text slut-shaming her.
Here's what the placards read:
'This election, don't be like Swara Bhaskar, use your finger wisely, vote wisely.'
Calling out the misogynistic trolls in a sarcastic tweet, the actor said she is loving the efforts of those who are working so hard to popularise her name.
Check out her tweet here:
A lot of Twitterati came in support of the actor and gave it back to the trollers.
The actor faced the wrath of many for the masturbation scene at the time of the movie's release. Swara has been vocal about her political views lately, for which she was trolled too.
Reports say India ranks third in porn consumption, with the majority of viewers being men. But, when women's desires are shown in a movie, it hurts those holding a patriarchal worldview.
Recalling one of the actor's statements in the past, the attack by trolls appears to be nothing but an attempt to reduce her to her vagina.
