‘I don’t blame Bollywood for blacklisting me’: Swara Bhasker on films, politics and motherhood

[@siddhu75]

Yes, reading Quaranic verses and invoking Prophet Mohd in elections and giving gyan on secularism to Hindus shouldn't invite any trolling

[@Arsh1M]

this might be a bit off-topic, but has anyone else noticed how often Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane comes up in video comments? i finally caved and read the book, and wow-it’s worth the buzz. it’s not just some feel-good advice; it actually gives you tools to focus your energy and make things happen. it’s subtle at first, but then you start to see how much of a difference it makes in how you approach your goals

[@manishamishra1714]

I have just one question and one question alone. Why is she platformed by @BBC News India? There are better scholars even on the left. She studied in DU ages ago and is not involved in conducting any research / statistical study.

[@MikaeilShah]

Y r u jealous?

[@manishamishra1714]

@ lol , who am I to be jealous!! I just believe that there are scholars who can support their opinions with data. In her case , she just speaks her opinion without sanctifying it with credible information. Also, she is not platformed for any of her actions/ achievements her( the interviewer doesn’t ask her about her past performances even after she mentions her next project).

[@samip3124]

Isn't she's the one who chanted in the rallies "Gustakh E Nabi ki ek hi Saza Sar Tan se Juda sar tan se Juda "

[@gruntgobshite]

No. It’s fake news from your PawPaw via Whatsapp University.

[@DebVids]

Of course this interview is on BBC.

[@miku1408]

Blacklisting someone for inciting violence is understandable. But blacklisting someone for speaking truth to power is just sad. She shouldnt be punished for that.

[@onelight-u4q]

She spoke truth to power? Lol be for real. I would love to see her speak up for mistreatment of women and LGBT minorities in Islamic countries.

[@fp8101]

Rubika Liyaquat: Swara, do you even know anything about CAA? Suara Bhokhker: this... that... abba...

[@thewisdom2390]

She is not wearing Hijab. It is against Islam

[@SenorSol]

Yawn. Rationality and modernity is "against" Islam too, which is why it's stuck in the 7th Century!

[@abc_cba]

You wear it if you are so bothered. If her husband is okay, what's your issue?

[@thewisdom2390]

@abc_cba My issue is islam. islam practice does not depend any husband choice.

[@abc_cba]

@thewisdom2390 oh, I am an atheist, so, I don't know anything about religions, much. Jai Hind.

[@thewisdom2390]

@abc_cba so why are you doing comment on this type of issue ..Keep yourself aside.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

It’s so nice to hear from her again. Love her interviews!

[@ChinmoyRoy-r1v]

The way she is talking 🙄

[@theeternalstudent6582]

Lots of love to Swara and family ❤

[@Sam-yt9qj]

I don't understand how the freedom of expression for Swara has been curtailed under the BJP government? Swara openly expresses her opinion against the establishment. Now you can not expect people not to react or counterargue to your opinion. This is a free society. I don't know who are the political prisoners she was talking about - there are so many politicians, for example, RAGA or Manishankar Iyer, the KZbinr from Germany, etc. talk rubbish and mean things against PM Modi and the BJP, they ain't in the prison. There is Anurag Basu who has criticized PM Modi in the past and he has not been punished. Swara was punished not only for her blabbermouth and religious sermons but also for her mediocre work. People appreciate when you criticize the government sensitively with facts and not preaching hate. A majority of people chose the BJP government because of their performance and not for just religious reasons and some people just can't accept it. In a democracy, you are free to criticize the government, but you must show respect to the verdict of the majority of people.

[@priyochatterjee_official]

Why is she using her Hindu name?

[@PrakharTalksSports]

It is her choice, you don't have any say in that sadly 😔

[@TheUnrulyMonster]

@@PrakharTalksSports question is WHY

[@hp1802]

I thought Bengalis were sensible people. Never mind

[@samip3124]

Islamist in disgust of liberism

[@sanketbhai94-u3s]

i know this isn’t related to the video, but i kept seeing people talk about the book Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane in the comments of so many videos. at first, i thought it was just hype, but i gave in and read it. honestly, it’s been a game-changer. it’s not just about “thinking positive”-it really breaks down how to align your energy with what you want in a way that feels real. seeing little shifts in my own life now, i can see why so many people swear by it.

[@Feyenoord101]

It’s super sad to read the comments and even “news” on her especially as a woman

[@Ngjfyu]

i know this isn’t the place for it, but i kept seeing Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane mentioned over and over in comments, and curiosity finally got the better of me. i read the book, and honestly, it’s one of the most practical guides to understanding manifestation i’ve ever seen. it’s not about instant results, but you can feel the difference as you apply what it teaches. seeing how people respond to me now, i totally get why it’s all over the comments.

[@adityasaikiaas3834]

i know this has nothing to do with the video, but i kept seeing Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane mentioned everywhere in comment sections. i was skeptical, but after hearing so much about it, i decided to give it a read. honestly, it’s not just hype. the book teaches you how to shift your energy and mindset in a way that feels natural, and it’s amazing how much it changes the way you see your goals and the opportunities around you.

[@samip3124]

Wheres her hijab?

[@bhuvanmishra13]

Enjoyed listening to her, and the interview! 😊

[@SenorSol]

MIHA: Make India Hygienic Again! 😁

[@altafnizamani5984]

Brilliant actress and beautiful human ❤. That's the reason rabid Hindus aren't happy with her.

[@deepanshuvashist3107]

hinduphobic

[@samip3124]

Only reason you love her coz she sleeps with a Muslim 😂

[@gaunikarora5157]

Why is she invited in the first place. She might be having friends in BBC from her JNU days

[@NarrityamR]

Congratulations for a healthy Babu 😂🎉

[@jaihindindia9514]

I thought she was irrevelant in bollywood

[@deepanshuvashist3107]

why is bbc left-leaning

[@SenorSol]

It's not. Glad I could fix that for you.

[@samip3124]

It's far left woke

[@SenorSol]

@ As if you know what that even means! LOL.

[@bandhanianil]

अभी तक फ्रीज में पैक नही हुई पूरा देश फ्रीज की राह देख रहा है

[@gruntgobshite]

Far more cases of Hindu men implicated in fridge, tandoor, suitcase etc.

[@shikshaplace5775]

8:12-8:27 ❤

[@IHL343]

You act better than her in many ways! What you do is called acting. Not wht mainstream does.

[@Its_Ajith]

I just love her, Beauty with Brain!! 🤩🤩🤩😇

[@prishaaneha]

Mummy banke bhi isko bakwas maarne ko itna fukat time hai 😅😂

[@SameerPatra-ld1iu]

Full power to Swara. Steam ahead, my lady. Hard left rudder. I appreciate.

[@avinashbhoir3618]

Mam now same role naaaaaaa boycott toh nahi tah but u no

[@ajaychaudhary3518]

Was not the case she went to some Maulana recently who justifies Taliban and their views girls education?

[@SenorSol]

I think Swara is a bit fond of jalebis and vada pav, no?

[@bandhanianil]
