Swara Bhasker is not new to the Internet trolls. The actress has been mercilessly trolled for her opinions, time and again. Swara is once again in the spotlight for a scene in her latest release, Veere Di Wedding that released on June 1. As the film continues to receive mixed reactions, many have criticized the film as women openly discuss sex, cuss and even a masturbation scene that has become the talk on the Internet. At a special screening of Veere Di Wedding in New Delhi, Sonam Kapoor was asked about the constant trolling against her friend and co-star Swara Bhasker especially the masturbation scene from the film. The news agency ANI quoted Sonam, I think people just like to troll her because she has an opinion and a point of view and I guess that shows how much they love her because the other side of hate is always love. So Swara, you have a lot of lovers. As Sonam Kapoor defended Swara Bhasker for Veere Di Wedding , Pakistani news portals reported that she was defending her friend over Swaras comments on Pakistan. Apparently, Swara Bhasker had called Pakistan a non-secular state after Veere Di Wedding got banned in Pakistan. Post that, Pakistani actress Urwa Hocane had slammed her for her hypocrisy.

Pakistan is the country that you https://twitter.com/ReallySwara?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw @ReallySwara referred to,in 2015, as the Best country you have ever visited and it has only gotten better in the last few years in every aspect along with when it comes to having bigger hearts and welcoming our guests.1/3 URWA HOCANE (@VJURWA) https://twitter.com/VJURWA/status/1002964640874319872?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw June 2, 2018 2/3 While youre on this spree of empowering women,i must say youve become a bitter person. And all of this is odd coming from a citizen of a state that bans their own films i.e. https://twitter.com/hashtag/Padmavat?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw #Padmavat so lets not talk about women empowerment.

Its not a failing state for sure but u come across as a Failing Human Being !!! https://twitter.com/ReallySwara?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw @ReallySwara From the citizen of the Phenomenal Pakistan ????????
