Swara Bhasker is never the one to mince her words, especially her opinions on hot-button topics such as feminism, communalism, and casteism. And, the actor did the same when a troll used a casteist slur targeting her husband, political leader Fahad Ahmad.
What's Happening
A social media user, who refers to himself as an Ambedkarite and a liberal in his X bio, recently shared a post on the microblogging site in which he made a casteist remark against Swara Bhasker's husband Fahad Ahmad.
He also called Fahad Ahmad "a street vendor from Dongri" when he saw the couple feature on the ongoing reality show Pati Patni Aur Panga - Jodiyon Ka Reality Check, hosted on Colors TV by Munawar Faruqui and Sonali Bendre.
A day later, Swara shared the screenshots of the activist's X post and called him out.
She wrote, "This twit who describes himself both as a proud Hindu and Ambedkarite does not seem to know that Chhapri is a casteist slang.. a derogatory term used to describe a community that fixes 'chappars' or thatched huts. Also nothing wrong with being a street vendor from Dongri or anywhere you casteist / classist trash-brain! #casteistAlert."
