Swara Bhaskar seems to be attracting a lot of controversies lately, after the Padmaavat chaos she has landed herself in a new one. During an interview with film critic Rajeev Masand, the Veere Di wedding actress was asked about her views on the film being banned n Pakistan.

Calling Pakistan a ‘failing state’, she addressed the issue and said, “They’re a nonsecular state. I’m not surprised at all. Why should we hold up Pakistan, which is a failing state — I don’t understand why we keep taking pleasure and feeling a sense of self-worth from all the silly things that happen in Pakistan. Apologies to all my Pakistani friends right now… Rest assured, Pakistanis have way worse vocabulary than we do. I know.”

Pakistani actress Urwa Hocane immediately schooled the actress over her flipping statements that she made in a gap of few years. Urwa took to Twitter and shared a video of Swara making totally contrasting statements. In her old interview, she said, “My friend and I came here and found that the state which is often viewed as the enemy state, is absolutely not like that at all. The amount of love we have received here. I have travelled to a lot of places, London, New York, Paris, Istanbul, they are all nothing compared to Lahore.”

Urwa also posted a series of tweets slamming the actress for addressing Pakistan as a failing state.

Pakistan is the country that you @ReallySwara referred to,in 2015, as the “Best country you have ever visited” and it has only gotten better in the last few years in every aspect along with when it comes to having bigger hearts and welcoming our guests . 1/3

2/3 While you’re on this spree of empowering women,i must say you’ve become a bitter person. And all of this is odd coming from a citizen of a state that bans their own films i.e. #Padmavat so let’s not talk about women empowerment.

3/3 This only reflects on u as an ignorant person who is also quiet contradictory in her own statements. It’s not a failing state for sure but u come across as a “Failing Human Being” !!! @ReallySwara

From the citizen of the Phenomenal Pakistan 🇵🇰

She is an opportunist.

Wish hypocrisy was curable 😢

Someone who felt reduced to a vagina after seeing a woman choosing death over sex-slavery is bound to find empowerment in others seeing her masturbating on screen.

After all, masturbation is an exercise, meant for public view.
