Swara Bhasker was recently trolled by two individuals who were photographed holding a placard that read, “This election, don’t be like Swara Bhasker. Use your finger well. Vote well.” The message on the poster referred to a scene in Veere Di Wedding where Swara’s character was filmed in an intimate setting_._ The film, a coming-of-age story, chronicled the lives of four friends who deal with the trials and tribulations regarding family acceptance, marriage and societal pressure in the modern day world. Bhasker, who has been attacked for the particular scene in the past as well, called out the trolls for their misogynistic message:
Awwwwwww!!!!! My trolls are hard at work again, sweating it out in the heat to popularise my name.. You guys are SO dedicated & sweet!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗❣️❣️❣️❣️ Don’t mind the slut-shaming guys.. their imagination is a bit limited.. but loving the effort you two 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 pic.twitter.com/fRqjGZ3b0q

However, many Twitter users spoke out in her support.
So @ReallySwara acted in a movie and that movie had a scene - why have we attached her identity to that goddamn scene - Matlab why ... someone explain why ...

I haven't seen #VeerayDiWedding yet but I believe the masturbation scene by @ReallySwara involved a vibrator. This is why frustrated RW dolts need basic Sex Ed lessons. https://t.co/3qpwfu7ab0
