Swara Bhasker is one of the actresses who
never shies away from speaking her mind and she faces the wrath for the same but doesn¡¯t give
much damn about it. But she is only human and sometime she too does get
affected.
Today she penned down a note speaking about cyber sexual harassment that she has faced over the years and especially after her film Veere Di Wedding where she had performed a masturbation scene.
She wrote, ¡°Social media is a [virtual] public space like roads & restaurants are, but the public decency and basic social etiquette maintained offline are absent online. I can¡¯t even post a photo of a flower without people linking it to masturbation or referencing ¡®ungli¡¯ (finger) after Veere Di Wedding came out.¡±
It¡¯s ugly and amounts to cyber sexual harassment but I feel very strongly about not succumbing to online bullying or limiting my presence online because of it. We cannot cede the virtual public space to hate, bigotry and bullying¡±.
Indeed, the actress is a strong headed woman and she clearly knows how to handle trolls. But for once can the trolls remember that she is human too?
