Listen Up, Swara Bhasker! Deepika Padukone Has Something To Say To You
Shahid Kapoor has also hit out at Swara’s letter dismissing it as “frivolous”...
Last evening, SpotboyE.com posed several questions to
Swara Bhasker in an open letter. It was in response to Swara’s open letter
to Sanjay Leela Bhansali where she made the sweeping statement – “I felt reduced
to a vagina.” Swara was referring to the portrayal of Jauhar/Sati pratha shown
in Padmaavat.

Since then, Twitter has seen an uprising of sorts; with
men, and women in particular questioning Swara’s “pseudo feminism.”
And now, the lady of the moment, Deepika Padukone who
plays the lead in Padmaavat has joined the movement.

Speaking to DNA, earlier today, Deepika said, “Let me put
things in perspective. We are not endorsing jauhar. You must see the scene/practice
in context to the period in which it was shown. And when you do that, you will
realise, it's so powerful. You do not feel like she is doing anything wrong.
You want her to embrace the flames because she is going to be united with the
man she loves."

Must say, that’s very well put Deepika.
If you go through SpotboyE.com’s open letter to Swara
Bhasker, you’ll realise that’s exactly our sentiment.
Shahid Kapoor has also hit out at Swara’s letter
dismissing it as “frivolous.” He said, “Given the circumstances, her
letter seems quite frivolous.”

Talking to PTI, the actor added, “What happened right
before the jauharscene? The king died. How can it be a celebration when
the king has died? Every practice happens for various reasons. Within this
film, Padmavati believed she would want to go into the fire as opposed to
handing herself over to a man who is so evil, that he is ready to kill the
entire kingdom to achieve one woman. Now you decide whether that's a good thing
or a bad.”
Swara, you have some serious answering to
do.
