Swara Bhaskar clarifies on her tweet about Chhaava; issues statement on social media

For the unversed, in her earlier statement, Swara Bhaskar pointed out the stark difference between the outrage over the scenes where Chhatrapati Sambhaji is seen being skinned and tortured in the Vicky Kaushal starrer Chhaava while the same ‘saviors’ are maintaining silence over the viral videos featuring stampede at Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. “A society that is more enraged at the heavily embellished partly fictionalised filmy torture of Hindus from 500 years ago than they are at the horrendous death by stampede & mismanagement + then alleged JCB bulldozer handling of corpses – is a brain & soul-dead society. #IYKYK”.

Following the reaction her post received, Swara on Friday, took to the platform to issue clarification saying, “My tweet has generated much debate & avoidable misunderstanding. Without any doubt I respect the brave legacy and contribution of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.. especially his ideas of social justice & respect for women. My limited point is that glorifying our history is great but please don’t misuse the glory of the past to hide the mistakes & failure of present times. Historical understanding should always be used to unite people & not to divide and divert attention from current issues.  If my earlier  tweet has hurt any sentiments that is regretted..  Like any other proud Indian I am also  proud of our history. Our history should unite us and give us strength to fight for a Chhaava better and more inclusive future.”


Speaking of the film, also starring Rashmika Mandanna and Akshaye Khanna in lead roles, is based on the novel by the same name, written by Shivaji Sawant. The film released in theatres on February 14.

What opportunity is going to come to me?’ I picked from what came to me.” PeeCee also added that she started seeking work that would challenge her after Krrish, as she had already done films like Aitraaz and gained critical acclaim. “After the first Krrish , because I had just done Aitraaz as well, I had done work which gave me a solid foundation. I got critical acclaim. I had people telling me that I knew my job even though I didn’t know that I knew my job. But that was a very clear time when I started seeking work that would challenge me,” the 41-year-old ac...
