Swara Bhasker calls out trolls vilifying actor for supporting burqa-clad Indian student

Actor was deemed hypocritical for choosing to don short dress while defending the right to cover up

Indian starlet Swara Bhasker, who has been vocal about her support for hijab-wearing Indian student Muskan Khan, found herself at the receiving end of bullying due to her choice of clothing. However, the actor did not shy away from a comeback.

After trolls shared pictures of Bhasker in a short dress on Twitter, deeming her support of Muskan's clothing choices hypocritical, the actor responded with a couple of tweets of her own. She wrote, "Yes, it's me looking bomb. Thank you! Thank you for sharing this picture of mine and reminding the world that I am a hottie!"

Bhasker continued, "I advocate women's right to choose their clothing. You know… 'choice'? Never mind, you let it be. You can continue with your failed attempts at slut-shaming."

Yeah, it’s me.. looking bomb 🔥 Thank u! 🤗🙏🏽

Responding to a compilation of tweets about her clothing, many of which made the use of Urdu poetry to take a jab at the actor, Bhasker wrote, "Good afternoon, Tweeple! Here is a sample [retweet] salad comprising Sanghis and their total failure to understand the concept of choice; their pathetic slut-shaming and, garnished with a desperate attempt to seem intellectual by quoting Urdu poets. Enjoy!"

Several celebrities and public figures, including Bhasker, expressed disappointment after a video of a Muslim girl being harassed by a right-wing Hindu group in India's southern Karnataka state went viral.

In the said clip, a Burqa-wearing Muslim student, Muskan Khan, who was heckled by Hindu far-right goons, can be seen bravely making her way towards the varsity amid the chaos.
