Swara Bhasker has this old relationship with the trolls and we have seen it from time to time. She has always been targeted for her bold statements and tweets. This time it was masturbating scene from Veere Di Wedding that attracted the trolls towards her micro-blogging site. The haters pelted words like 'cheap' towards her for the scene. Her co-star Sumeet Vyas comes out with his sharp opinion on the whole episode and he does make sense.

Speaking with Hindustan Times, the Permanent Roommates actor said, " It was essentially showing the back story of Swara’s character. She was not happy in her marriage and had no chemistry with her husband. If it was a man featured in that scene, it would have been perfectly normal and a healthy thing to do. But as it is a woman, which perhaps is a first in Indian cinema, it became a problem."

He also further explained how the scene would have been perceived differently, had there been a male in Swara's place. He added, "What we saw was what a normal human being would do but because it was a woman, it looked like a bold move. And that is why it was treated in a humourous manner, without trying to make a ‘statement’. But invariably, it became a statement. It became a big deal."

Sumeet has taken a stand for Swara and that says it all. VDW tried to touch the subject which is still hugely considered as a 'taboo' in Indian society at large. Do you support Swara in this whole controversy? Tell us in the comment box below.
