If Swara Bhasker could get a dime for each time her views got her in trouble, she’d have been an Ambani by now. Instead, she says that if she ever got a chance to meet India’s richest man, she’d rather ask him for a job!
Post a press conference held at Indian Women's Press Corps (IWPC) recently, I got a chance to catch the actor for a quick ‘Never Have I Ever’ tete-a-tete. And Swara Bhasker was at her wittiest!
I learnt that she too lies about where she is, and uses the biggest desi fake news – bas Paanch minute – all the time!
From talking trolls to dates, Swara quipped on all things fun.
When asked if she regrets having written the vagina open letter after the controversial release of the film ‘Padmaavat’, she said, “I literally have never wished I didn’t write the vagina open letter. I stand by everything I said in it. It was a very polite letter, if somewhat dramatically worded. And it came from no vicious intent, and from a very clean place in my heart.”
