AN OPEN LETTER TO SANJAY LEELA BHANSALI BY SWARA BHASKER - I FELT REDUCED TO VAGINA!!

Swara Bhasker is known for her brilliant performance in Tanu weds Manu, Raanjhanaa and Prem Ratan dhan payo. Recently, she saw Sanjay Leela Bhansali's most controversial movie Padmaavat and she got really shocked with the movie's climax. According to her, the movie is glorifying Jauhar and Sati system and taking away the right of the woman to live. She expressed her thoughts writing a note in which she says that she felt reduced to Vagina.

She initiated congratulating the director of Padmaavat, Sanjay Leela Bhansali for the release of film after facing so much of problems. Even after getting threatened by the people of Karni Sena, they managed to do so.

The actress said that she stood by him when people were criticizing and hitting the movie for the name Padmaavati. She was not fighting in the battleground but she fought on her twitter timeline for the sake of the movie. She tried to convey the message of the director which he can't because of his Rs 185 crore were on the line.

She said, that we are back to basics again and all the empowerment of women, all the equal rights of men and women, all the achievements and movements of women are so pointless now because she felt like a Vagina after watching this great masterpiece by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. She added that women have the right to live despite of being raped, she have the the right to live even after the death of her husband. Women have the right to live. Period.

The climax of the movie made her felt that it was wrong of her to choose life over death in that moment. It was wrong to have the desire to live. "The movie should not glorify such a heinous hate crime or any such thing like Jauhar" she said

Lastly, She signed off the letter as "Swara Bhasker, Desirous of Life".

Super saddened to read your views about #Padmaavat! And more surprised as you know the movie craft yourself!
A difference of opinion is one thing but with your views you’ve belittled the entire women community!
OR
Can we say some ‘jealousy in the air for #SwaraBhaskar?’

My respect for @ReallySwara has always been sky-high, and has doubled with this piece. Thank you for the grace with which you’ve both defended freedom of expression *and* demanded more responsible storytelling. https://t.co/v0ro6Ls0Zr

Funny that you think a ‘prostitute’ doesn’t have a right to feeling like a whole human being and not a vagina. These are basic, human standards that you should very well be aware of. Fairly sure you can try to have a smidge more nuance in your life, Suchitra. https://t.co/pxwrZ5VhA0

Boom!

The only #Padmaavat piece you need to read comes from the inimitable @ReallySwara. Fearless, incisive, honest - exactly how we need our protagonists to be in 2018 (on screen, and off). https://t.co/dX2c7hk6tN

@suchitrak जी, एक औरत के लिए एक औरत का इतना बेहुदा ट्वीट ? @ReallySwara जी के वैचारिकता तक पहुँचने के लिये आपको अभी कई और जन्म लेने पड़ेंगे।। "पकौड़ों" को ही आपकी बातें अच्छी लगेंगी,किसी भी समझदार को बिल्कुल नहीं।। https://t.co/IgkLeZqiRx
