Swara Bhasker recently reacted when some trolls compared Taapsee Pannu and her to table tennis star Manika Batra. The meme called Manika Batra more beautiful than both Swara and Taapsee and also said that she was more talented than both of them.

It said, “More beautiful than woke actors like Taapsee or Swara Bhaskar and more talented than them. One and only Manika Batra.”

To which Swara Bhasker responded saying, “Many congratulations to #ManikaBatra and every other female achiever in any field!!!”

Swara has often been trolled and last month, when her film Veere Di Wedding celebrated three years of its release, she gave a shout-out to her haters. She shared a video from the film and said, “3 YEARS (June 01) to the birth of an obsession - my nafrati chintus obsession with my fingers! Happy 3rd to the film that gave rise to an economy: the two rupees per tweet employment guarantee scheme that it seems i launched for my trolls #veerediwedding #sakshislays.”

Earlier, in an interview, Swara talked about how harassment of women on social media has been normalized. She said, “We deal with it and we’re almost kind of okay with it. That’s why you see Twitter timelines of a lot of people, including me, resemble those streets where men are passing comments at women. So, what happens to me when I walk down the road — chherkhani or eve-teasing — is exactly what happens to me on my Twitter timeline, too.”
