Swara Bhaskar is a no-nonsense woman, which can be seen even in her choice of movies. Recently, the actress has been actively voicing her opinion against the ban of a news channel by the government, and became target of various internet trolls who have no other work but to spread hatred and insult anyone who states otherwise.
It all started with an old tweet. If you remember, a ban had been imposed for 24 hours on a news channel, sparking outrage on freedom of the fourth pillar, and the hypocrisy of the government on targeting just one channel. Swara too showed her opposition for the same, and got tweets like this.

To which Swara replied,

Needless to say, given the pseudo nationalism going on in the country, she received much flak for it, which could be seen in the comments.
The matter was cold, but some people just want to drag the matter till it rots and the same thing happened when another troll jumped in today, saying that Hitler was great and misunderstood man.

Swara being herself, replied.

Another one jumped in, for it is not every day that you get some cheap fame by trolling a celebrity, and repeated the age old insult, that Swara should be kicked out of the country. Swara again handled it like a boss.

Well, given the growing need of violence and supporting of ideology of Hitler, the atmosphere is certainly becoming vicious for the few lone voices of truth and sensibility.
You go Swara!
