Responding to Prasoon’s interpretation of the scene, Swara tried to explain to him the real motive behind it. “With respect sir, perhaps you have misunderstood the scene. It’s absolutely opposite to how you have described the scene. The child is dancing by her own choice, the father gets awkward and embarrassed on seeing it. The girl is simply dancing. She doesn’t know that society will sexualise her too. That’s all there is to this scene#Rasbhari(sic).”

आदर सहित सर, शायद आप scene ग़लत समझ रहे हैं। सीन जो वर्णन किया है उसके ठीक उल्टा है। बच्ची अपने मर्ज़ी से नाच रही है- पिता देख कर झेंप जाता है & शर्मिंदा होता है।नाच उत्तेजक नहीं है, बच्ची बस नाच रही है, वो नहीं जानती समाज उसे भी sexualise करेगा- scene यही दिखाता है। #Rashbhari https://t.co/xUAmRBHHjJ

The actress went on to retweet a user’s tweet that questioned Prasoon’s intentions. “Sir there are various web shows on different OTT platforms showing objectionable content. This tweet, however, reeks of some other hidden agenda. Is it the presence of @ReallySwara that forces you to take such an offensive stand?”
