Swara Bhaskar on her controversial comments on Chaava. Vicky Kaushal Rashmika Mandanna Chhaava directed by Lakshman Utekar is capturing the imagination of all. In the midst of all this actor Swara Bhaskar made controversial comments. She posted 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 and mismanagement then alleged JCB bulldozer handling of corpses is a brain and soul dead society.
This triggered huge anger and backlash following which Swara came up with a clarification and an apology. She posted My tweet has generated much debate and avoidable misunderstanding. Without any doubt I respect the brave legacy and contribution of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj especially his ideas of social justice and respect for women.
She added My limited point is that glorifying our history is great but please do not misuse the glory of the past to hide the mistakes and failure of present times. Historical understanding should always be used to unite people and not to divide and divert attention from current issues.
If my earlier tweet has hurt any sentiments that is regretted Like any other proud Indian I am also proud of our history. Our history should unite us and give us strength to fight for a better and more inclusive future she concluded.
