Swara Bhasker
Actor Swara Bhasker recently found herself caught up in a controversy after she opened up about having a crush on Samajwadi Party Lok Sabha MP Dimple Yadav and said “all humans are fundamentally bisexual”. She faced a lot of flak from the internet for her comments. Following the backlash, the actress has now reacted to the criticism, calling it `stupid.` She also urged people to focus on more pressing issues like the “vote theft”.
A few days ago, during an interview with Screen, Swara shared her views on sexuality, saying, “We are all bisexual. If you leave people to themselves, we are actually bisexual. But heterosexuality is an ideology that has been culturally ingrained for thousands of years, because that is how the human race perpetuates—so it has to be the norm.”
She also mentioned that she had a crush on MP Dimple Yadav, which quickly went viral, drawing sharp criticism online. Following the controversy, Swara had even updated her X bio to read, “Girl crush advocate. Part-time actor, full-time Twitter pest. Chaos Queen. Shopping my way through the apocalypse. Free Palestine.”
