Ever since Bollywood actress Swara Bhasker boldly did the (in)famous masturbation scene in the movie 'Veer Di Wedding', she has been the target of trolls on social media who have continued to pester her for playing a sexually expressive character.  On Monday, when Mumbai went to Lok Sabha polls, it was an occasion for a man and a woman to carry a placard urging the public to vote without fail.  And their message was fraught with sexism, targeting Swara Bhasker.

On the placard, this is what they wrote: "In this elections don't be like Swara Bhaskar use your finger wisely vote wisely."

Swara has reacted to the problematic language in her own style: "Awwwwwww!!!!! My trolls are hard at work again, sweating it out in the heat to popularise my name.. You guys are SO dedicated & sweet!!! Don’t mind the slut-shaming guys.. their imagination is a bit limited.. but loving the effort you two.”
