Actress Swara Bhaskar is known for her outspoken and frank personality and she certainly doesn't shy from voicing her opinion on most controversial of topics. In a recent interview, the actress defended filmmaker Karan Johar, who has become a subject of hate and trolling since the demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. For the unversed, some people believe that Karan's tendency to promote starkids was a major factor in alienating SSR which ultimately led to his demise.
Swara told Connect FM Canada, There’s an atmosphere of fear. This is an industry—there is this idea of not engaging in controversy. There is a genuine belief that the industry has, that if there’s a controversy happening, it’s best not to bother about it.”
Bringing up the example of Karan Johar to prove her point, Swara stated, So, even when they’re attacked, they don’t say anything. You can say a lot of things about Karan Johar, you can think his films are terrible and have issues with nepotism, but your dislike doesn’t mean that he is a murderer.”
Swara herself also faces lots of trolling and even death threats because of the things she chooses to say. Talking about how she manages to stay unaffected, the actress said, I’m a wreck inside, I just talk to my therapist regularly about all my issues.”
