Padmaavat again in controversy: Open letter war between Swara Bhaskar and Vivek Agnihotri
Bollywood actress Swara Bhaskar, who recently wrote an open letter to filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali where she has slammed the director for the glorification of Sati and Jauhar in his film. After many celebrities, director-producer Vivek Agnihotri has slammed Swara for her open letter.
Vivek Agnihotri took to Twitter and wrote, “We have interviewed many ‘ex-Naxal’ women in Bastar. Each has gut-wrenching stories to tell, full of abuse, rape and misogyny, if they marry, they aren’t allowed to have children. I think fake feminist @ReallySwara must make a trip to understand how the Real Vagina feels like. What women need to understand that it’s because of the fake feminists like @ReallySwara that the feminist movement gets jeopardised. You just can’t piss off people and win the most critical war of modern times – the gender empathy.” Swara, who was shocked after reading what the filmmaker had said, quickly responded and asked him a very logical question.
This is how you piss off people and stereotype the feminist movement. This is exactly why common people hate fake feminists. But you must know that the true feminists have been working tirelessly for decades for women’s empowerment without ever mentioning vagina even once. https://t.co/en5Rf1cOXw

Why is it that whenever we talk about empathy and understanding, fake feminists like @ReallySwara can only think of rape? You can say whatever you want, they end up translating it only with their sexually perverted dictionary. https://t.co/go6sjFR1PR

Swara wrote on Twitter, “I’m sorry did u just suggest that I go get myself raped? Like seriously? You typed out this tweet Vivek.? I’d say pretty low and sick even by your own abysmal standards of conduct & civility.” Vivek Agnihotri hit back saying, “Why is it that whenever we talk about empathy and understanding, fake feminists like @ReallySwara can only think of rape? You can say whatever you want, they end up translating it only with their sexually perverted dictionary.”
