Bollywood actress Swara Bhasker, who was last seen featuring in the movie Jahaan Chaar Yaar, often makes it to the headlines for her controversial tweets. Recently, the actress opened up on how she deals with online abuse and how she has learned to cope up with them. Swara also compared her Twitter fights to that of a “domestic violence survivor” and said that the trolling she receives is “very agenda driven”.
The Veere Di Wedding actress said that though she has learned to cope up with online trolling, it is not “a good thing”. She also said that she gets an intuition that something is going to happen and now, she has understood the “wave of Twitter controversy”.
Swara told Connect FM Canada during a conversation, “I am often a wreck inside but you learn to cope with it, which is not a good thing. I will give you a very bad example and no one should be okay with it, but if there is a woman who is facing domestic violence and it continues and she cannot change her situation for whatever reason, she will build coping strategies.”
The Tanu Weds Manu actress continued, “She will know that ‘now I will get hit’ and it’s a very complicated space where a victim learns to cope with the violence and deal with it . So, I feel a similar thing has happened with me. Mentally with the trolling thing and abuses.”
Swara then also talked about the trolls that she receives online and said that it is “very agenda driven”. She said, “The trolling that I receive is very agenda driven. It is people of a particular political ideology who troll me and why they do it, I know that as well.”
Talking about how she deals with the online abuse she receives almost every other day, Swara was quoted saying, “I don’t read comments and as a result I miss many messages. I hardly open my DMs. That’s one thing, and of course, there is therapy.”
Swara Bhasker is known for her roles in movies like Tanu Weds Manu Returns, Raanjhanaa, Veere Di Wedding and others.
