Actor Tillotama Shome says people may not agree with Swara Bhasker’s opinion on Padmaavat but their reasons for attacking the actor are “lame” and “warped”. The actor said like any individual Swara has the right to express herself. “Swara has the right to express herself in what she felt in watching a film. It could be another woman or even a man who felt that the representation of a certain character was reductive,” said Tillotama. In her letter, Swara had said that she “felt being reduced to a vagina - only” after watching the period drama.
