New Delhi:

Actor Swara Bhasker, who has particiapted in the reality show Pati Patni Aur Panga-Jodiyon Ka Reality Check with husband-politician Fahad Ahmad, clarified her "We are all bisexual" comment after it stirred a storm over social media. Calling the backlash "stupid", Swara said,  things said in a zest turned into a "political" controversy. 

What's Happening 

In a recent interview with The Indian Express, Swara Bhaskar said, "I don't understand that. It was just me being a little facetious and funny. I don't understand what is the great controversy in having a girl crush. It's the most normal thing in the world. I am a big believer of admiring and appreciating other women. That is a constructed controversy. There are real issues to focus on."

For context, Swara had said that she has a crush on Dimple Yadav, wife of former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Akhilesh Yadav. She also mentioned that people are naturally bisexual and heterosexuality is a belief. 

She further added, "It's a theoretical point of of course; I am married, I have a child. There's no conclusion to it. As far as a girl crush on Dimpleji goes, I think one can have admiration and affection in a way that is humorous. Everyone should remember that it wasn't the real issue. It shouldn't be about a frivolous joke I made. Now because Fahad is a politician, everything I saw reflects on him. It becomes a political controversy. It gives me more reason to rethink about whatever I said, should I not have?"

Background
