Swara Bhasker has been the target of trolls so many times that it’s become second nature to her. Swara, who is known for her outspokenness, claimed in an interview that she has been ‘punished’ for voicing her beliefs. The actor’s spirits, on the other hand, aren’t dwindling, since she is unafraid to fight for a worthy cause. And if trolling is the price she must pay, she must accept it.
In an interview with The Times Of India, Swara was asked if her brand image ever got affected because of the kind of roles she has done. She answered, “I don’t think I have ever been punished for the kind of roles that I have done. What I have been punished for are the opinions I have had or the fact that I have been very vocal about certain things. More than giving opinions, I think about participating in protests, rallies, or campaigning in 2019. I definitely had to suffer for that. There is no doubt about that.”
She added that brands have terminated contracts with her because she participated in protests. “But I don’t want to look like a victim here, even if I am. These are the choices I made. This is the fight I want to fight and if this is the price I have to pay then it is unfortunate. If I am being punished for believing in what are basically the constitutional values of this country then I am willing to take that punishment,” Swara said.
Swara recently stated that she is planning to adopt a child. The actor has been actively involved in the care of orphaned youngsters and is also spearheading a campaign to raise awareness about India’s orphan crisis.
Swara has recently appeared in various OTT productions, including Amazon Prime Video’s Rasbhari, Eros Now’s Flesh, and Netflix’s Bhaag Beanie Bhaag
