THIS is what Swara Bhasker has to say in her defense on abusing a child actor on a show

Recently, Swara Bhasker was all over the headlines for abusing a 4-year-old child actor who called her an ‘aunty’. The actress had called the child “chu**ya” and “kam**na” on a chat show. Post which the ‘Veere Di Wedding’ actress had received major backlash online for her language.

Swara recently opened up about the whole controversy and stated that she said it all as a joke.

According to a report by IANS, Swara said, that it was a comedy show and she was narrating a funny incident. She said it was a exaggerated- satirical narration and she was using comedic, adult and self-deprecating tone. Swara even said she used certain swear words.

Swara said comedians do it all the time, and the show’s format is of a comedic genre. She defended herself saying, “Most importantly, if you actually watch the show, you would realise that I actually was the one looking out for the child’s welfare — trying to make sure he gets a bathroom break, which other people on the set seemingly didn’t care about. I have never abused children nor any co-actor. And I have always treated children with the care, affection and the responsible conduct they deserve. I actually like children. The quip that children are evil was obviously a joke,” she said.

The actress feels that the whole controversy was blown out of proportion. Justifying herself she said, “The whole controversy was clearly targeted and constructed. I’m not trying to justify swearing — those were undoubtedly an ill-advised choice of words, but they were not seriously used. It was said jokingly and self-deprecatingly. Comics do it all the time without anyone blinking an eyelid.”
