‘Veere Di Wedding’: This is what Swara Bhasker’s mom has to say about her masturbation scene

Swara Bhasker’s recent outing ‘Veere Di Wedding’ has received mixed reactions from the audience. While all the four leads are being appreciated for their role, but it is Swara who is getting a some special attention.

To be precise, it is Swara’s masturbation scene which has got everyone in town talking . People have called out her scene as completely downright and cheap while there are some who lauded Swara and the makers for putting a brave front.

While the world may express their opinions, at the end of the day, what your family thinks about you matters the most. Yes! Someone from Swara’s family has opened up about her scene. It is no one but her mother, Ira Bhasker. In an interview with an online portal, Vice, she said, “Let me begin by saying that sexuality per se in Indian cinema is not a subject that has been directly expressed. At the same time, historically, our cinema is unique in the sense that it has developed, over the years, a very complex and refined idiom on eroticism. And that idiom is the song.” (Also Read: Swara Bhasker’s reply to paid trolls is worth an applause)

Mrs Bhasker further added,”A lot of things that can’t be addressed directly can be addressed through the song. Be it the Hindi film song, or the Bengali film song, Malayalam or Tamil. You don’t find this anywhere else—as a fundamental and defining feature of the form itself. A lot of the articulation was done through song, emotional articulation. Articulation of what is tabooed. Sexuality and eroticism.”

She went on to say, “Just think of ‘Mughal-e-Azam’: in that song ‘Jogan Ban Chali’, that word jogan actually is Meera—the one who has renounced the world for her lover. So this completes dedication to the object of your passion. What is that but female desire? These films didn’t have direct representation of sexual act or the act of lovemaking. Mahesh Bhatt has said that the most erotic sequence in Indian cinema is that of Dilip Kumar stroking Madhubala’s face in close up in ‘Mughal-e-Azam’.”

Indirectly, Swara’s mummy has slammed all those who have been calling out to her daughter. What do you have to say about this? Do let us know.
