Swara Bhaskar Writes An Open Letter Slamming Sanjay Leela Bhansali For Glorifying Jauhar In Padmaavat
But I'd be lying if I said that the film has stopped making headlines because of wrong reasons.
Krishnamoorthy was not the only one who was fixated on Swara's argument.
Actress Swara Bhasker has, in a scathing comment on 'Padmaavat', said she felt like a "vagina only" after watching the Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial.
"It is because of this attachment and concern that I had for the film that I am SO stunned having watched it".
P.S. The way you give it back to the trollers and haters, I am an ardent fan.
"It is our film, so if I say something or someone else says something, we would be trying to create more trouble for our film".
"You do know that acts like sati and raping women are two sides of the same mindset". Women have the right to live, despite the death of their husbands, male "protectors", "owners", "controllers of their sexuality". whatever you understand the men to be.
She had questioned the "uncomfortable" climax scene where RPadmavati, portrayed by Deepika Padukone, self-immolates herself along with a group of other women after attackers barge into their kingdom after winning over their men, albeit unethically.
It's actually pretty basic.
Yes, women have vaginas, but they have more to them as well.

Locals said there were many passengers in the bus and there are virtually no chances of anybody being alive. One of the eyewitnesses said after the accident, they rushed with their boats to rescue the victims.
Yes, women have vaginas, but they have more to them as well.
It would be nice if the vaginas are respected; but in the unfortunate case that they are not, a woman can continue to live. "She need not be punished with death, because another person disrespected her vagina without her consent", she also wrote.
"They must have felt like a "vagina" when she chose "fire" over "rape"?" Those who think that Article 19 A (the much sought after freedom of expression) or Article 21 (Right to a dignified life) are very much equally available for us women, read Swara's letter.
This, after she pledged to have spoken for and supported the movie at a time when a few stood up for it.
She wrote "I felt reduced to a vagina only" where she accused Bhansali of glorifying "Jauhar" and "Sati pratha". ".at the end of your magnum opus".
Swara believes "Padmaavat" has brought up the question whether women - widowed, raped, young, old, pregnant, pre-pubescent - have the right to live.
She added that the disclaimer at the beginning of the film condemning the acts if sati and jauhar meant nothing as it was close to three hours of Rajput worship. "In both cases the attempt and idea is to reduce women to a sum total of their genitals", she wrote. "I felt my existence was illegitimate..."
The co-writers of Ram-Leela even responded with another open letter preaching how the women during the 13th century, felt pride in giving away their lives for their "honour" and blah blah. It was wrong to have the desire to live.
She acknowledged that the movie is historical in nature and in Bhansali's defence, he could just have been representing history in the way that he interpreted it, but Swara countered by saying that Padmaavat's context is not in the 13th century, but in the present.
