Swara finally SPEAKS UP on being TROLLED for her Masturbation Scene

Rhea Kapoor's film Veere di Wedding starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhaskar and Shikha Talsania is roaring on the big screen. With successful numbers, the film is also being receiving negative comments from the audiences for showing over the top scenes. And one such is Swara Bhaskar's masturbation scene from the film. The actress is not just being trolled but, also bullied for being so bold on screen.

Finally talking about the same, in an interview with Indian Express, Swara said that she knew she would be trolled. She also said that the society is hypocritical when it comes to men and women.

She said, "Yes, I did anticipate the hate that has come my way but I don't think you should care about that as an actor and an artist. I don't think you should care about what the (audience) reaction would be while performing as it is distractive, unhelpful and creates a fear that doesn't help in the performance anyway."

She further added, "Our society is very hypocritical when it comes to standards for men and women. It is completely okay for men to do whatever they want. You can show men doing anything onscreen. But for women, it becomes 'oh bold', 'oh controversial', 'oh shocking.' So, I knew I would be trolled."

"What would you say to trolls who think it is wrong for a woman to masturbate or who chose to slut shame actors who show the act of masturbation on screen. I think it shows their mentality which is narrow-minded and low. In any case, trolling is you hiding behind the anonymity of your Twitter name being abusive or shaming people who you would not meet in life and even if you do, you would take a selfie. So frankly, I don't have time to think about them," said the actor.
