One Twitter user shared his problemswith the film and SRK’s character. He wrote, “Raj does the following toSimran: 1. Lie that he raped her as a joke 2. Tears her clothes in public(accidentally, but who pulls a woman by the back of her dress anyway?) 3.Forces her to dance, and in the process gropes her and feels up her bare backWhy do women love creeps?”.

While Swara agreed to the Twitter userand replied to him,?

“Sadly u r are right.. I mean abt what all Raj does.. Thisis precisely the power of #Bollywood right? It makes stalking seem romantic.And we all are influenced by it - sometimes in the form of nostalgia & sometimesdespite our own best intent. We all need to learn & change :) :)”.

Swara herself was in a film thatpromoted stalking and that’s Raanjhana, the actress is quite aware of the mistake as she mentioned that we all need to learn.?

Apart from Swara, even Abhay Deol who was a part of it had once lashed out at the film forpromoting stalking.
