It was only yesterday when Swara Bhasker gave a befitting reply to Vivek Agnihotri for slut-shaming her in public. This ugly saga started when Swara voiced her support for the Kerala Nun Rape controversy and Vivek mocked her for the same. However, the Veere Di Wedding actress was pissed at the way he tried to abuse her and she reported his same tweet to Twitter India. Fortunately, Twitter took a note of her request and asked Agnihotri to delete his tweet or the consequence could result in his account getting blocked. The director had to give in their demands and delete his tweet which was unfair in itself.Ā Swara Bhasker Teaches Troll a Lesson for Lifetime After He Mocks Actressā Father for Veere Di Weddingās Vibrator Scene.

Swara's efforts were lauded by the industry people and celebs like Richa Chadha and Shruti Seth came out in her support. Of course, this is a big deal for her haters since no one has any right to abuse or mock anyone. It was time someone stood up and we are glad it was someone as fearless as Swara.
