Swara Bhasker and Payal Rohatgi’s Twitter war is not new. Earlier we have seen both taking digs at each other’s posts on Twitter. Yet again, it started on Twitter post Swara’s tweet on activist Sadaf Jafar. It so happened that Swara took to her Twitter handle and demanded to free activist-actor Sadaf Jafar who was arrested by UP police.
The ‘Veere Di Wedding’ actress wrote, “Activist and actor #sadafjafar is in jail in Lucknow.. not clear why! Her friends #DeepakKabir is also in jail because he went to enquire after her.. #FreeSadaf #FreeDeepak and make UP police accountable for its excesses!”
Check her tweet here.

Payal, as usual, poked her nose and slammed Swara for her tweet. She tweeted, “Did this ‘aunty’ tweet #FreePayal when she was arrested by Rajasthan police? Now she is creating drama with all these. Who knows tomorrow she might put #MeToo allegations for publicity.” (Her tweet is translated from Hindi to English)
Read her full tweet here.
क्या यह Aunty ने #FreePayal करके tweet किया था Rajasthan police के ख़िलाफ़ ?नहीं Aunty तब Ajaz के साथ जश्न मना रही होगी ? दोगले ? अब Anti-CAA वाले, UP के पथरबाज के साथ ड्रामा कर रही है।कल शायद #MeToo का आरोप भी लगाएगी publicity के लिए।Kota में बच्चों की मौत के ऊपर मौन व्रत ? https://t.co/BgoBzgwTbc

Swara then replied back saying that Payal should check her facts before tweeting.
Didi Aapkey liye bhi retweet kiya tha.. Kota par bhi tweet kiya hai.. Zeher ki ulti karney ke pehley fact check karo na kabhi kabhi ?
Happy new year! ? https://t.co/HF3GGDHdQN— Swara Bhasker (@ReallySwara) January 4, 2020
For the unversed, Payal Rohatgi was arrested for making objectionable content against the Nehru-Gandhi family on social media. She was granted bail later.
