Payal Rohatgi has stirred a hornet's nest a couple of days back when she tried to link the floods that affected Kerala and the cow slaughter in her tweets. Many on Twitter slammed for her supposedly right-wing thoughts and insulting the victims of the tragedy by giving a religious angle to it. When there was too much bashing happening, Payal (or her PR team probably) tried to respond to some of the antagonistic tweets.

In the process, she also managed to take digs at other actresses in one of her tweets. Most of the barbs were targetted at Swara Bhasker, known for her liberal views and who has been a frequent target for the right-wing trolls. When one of the Twitter users called her a 'flop' actress, Payal tweeted, "Let me be #flop so what. I cant have my views oh sorry I need to do masturbation scenes and hold placards of #RapeinDevistan campaign to be #successful OR maybe have a husband who shoots porn. IDIOTS. NO maybe be a part of #castingcouch or better change my parents". The masturbation and the placard mentions were definitely targetted at Swara Bhasker. The first reference was to her scene in Veere Di Wedding that went viral, and the other being her campaign for justice for the victim in Kathua and Unnao rapes.

We leave it up to you, readers, to guess who else Payal was referring to in her tweet.
