Swara Bhasker slammed for her ‘partly fictionalised filmy torture of Hindus’ tweet about Vicky Kaushal starrer Chhaava: 'You, madam, ought to be prosecuted for this criminal offence...'

Swara Bhasker, who always stays in headlines for her controversial statements rather than her movies, schooled for her tweet comparing the outrage on the “partly fictionalised filmy torture of Hindus" in Vicky Kaushal starrer ‘ Chhaava ’ than the reaction to the deaths at the Mahakumbh stampede.

Taking to X, Bhasker had tweeted, “A society that is more enraged at the heavily embellished partly fictionalised filmy torture of Hindus from 500 years ago than they are at the horrendous death by stampede & mismanagement + then alleged JCB bulldozer handling of corpses – is a brain & soul-dead society. #IYKYK"

The tweet garnered severe criticism from netizens with several suggesting her to ‘see a doctor as soon as possible’ for her sick mental state.

Responding to Swara, a journalist named Swati Chaturvedi wrote, “Rethink, this tweet Swara, I am a student of history from Delhi university & nothing remotely fictional about the torture inflicted by Aurangzeb on Sambhaji Maharaj before he murdered him. Let’s not play games with our history please. One outrage does not preclude the other."

“Fictionalised filmy torture of Hindus"?! How dare you seek to make light of the supreme sacrifice made by Sambhaji Maharaj – who was brutally tortured and murdered by the wicked Mughal coward Aurangzeb! Swara Bhaskar – your deeply offensive and hurtful statement, that too on the birth anniversary of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, is obviously aimed at deliberately insulting the sentiments of millions of Indians and to create strife between religious groups. You, madam, ought to be prosecuted for this criminal offence to the fullest extent permissible under the law," Jai Anant Dehradai, a Supreme Court advocate.
