The Open Letter of Swara Bhasker after watching 'Padmaavat' has gone viral now. She slammed Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali for glorifying 'jauhar' and 'sati' which deprive women of liberty to live their lives. 'Women have the right to live despite being raped, sir. 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. It would be nice if the vaginas are respected; but in the unfortunate case that they are not. She need not be punished with death, because another person disrespected her vagina without her consent,' wrote the Actress.
Reactions to the Open Letter of Swara Bhaskar aren't so welcoming. Few Netizens opined someone should tell Swara Bhaskar that Khilji reduced Padmavati and other Rajput Women to mere Vaginas, not Sanjay Leela Bhansali. She was asked to realize 'Padmaavat' is a tale of how Rajput Women refused to be mere vagina.
Swara Bhaskar replied critics could only remember the word 'Vagina' in her 2440 words article. 'Funny that people cannot get over the fact that a woman said Vagina!,' she shot back.
