Swara Bhasker clapped back at a Twitter user who criticised her selfie in a saree and commented that their household help ‘looks much better’. She hoped that the person respected their domestic help’s ‘labour and her dignity’.
On Wednesday, Swara shared a picture of herself at a park, wearing a saree. “A sari, a park, a walk, a book... ‘at peace’ must feel like this #smalljoys #gratitude #feelingwise,” she wrote. A Twitter user commented, “My maid looks much better than you in saree. Much more graceful than you.”
Swara Bhasker replied to a disparaging comment about her saree picture. Replying to the person, Swara wrote, “I’m sure your household help is beautiful. I hope you respect her labour and her dignity & don’t act like a creep with her.”
Swara, who was first noticed for her role in Tanu Weds Manu, has acted in films such as Raanjhanaa, Tanu Weds Manu Returns, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Nil Battey Sannata and Veere Di Wedding. Last year, she featured in several OTT projects, including the Amazon Prime Video series Rasbhari, Eros Now series Flesh and Netflix series Bhaag Beanie Bhaag.
Swara will be seen next in a same-sex love story titled Sheer Qorma, which also stars Divya Dutta and Shabana Azmi. The short film has been directed by Faraz Arif Ansari.
