Celebrities sometimes have a price to pay in exchange for standing up for the right cause. They are constantly under stringent scrutiny by fans for what they say and where they say.?
In a recent interview with TOI, Swara Bhasker revealed that she has been "punished" for expressing her opinion.?
"I don¡¯t think I have ever been punished for the kind of roles that I have done. I have been punished for my opinions or that I have been very vocal about certain things. More than giving opinions, I think about participating in protests, rallies or campaigning in 2019. I had to suffer for that. There is no doubt about that. I have had brands terminating contracts that said I brought shame to the brand by participating in the CAA, NRC protests. But I don¡¯t want to look like a victim here, even if I am."?
"These are the choices I made. This is the fight I want to fight, and if this is the price I have to pay, then it is unfortunate. If I am being punished for believing in what are the constitutional values of this country, then I am willing to take that punishment."?
Swara, who is always touted as strong-headed and determined, proved she is a woman worth drawing inspiration for when she recently announced that she has enrolled to adopt a child and be a single parent.
