Bollywood actress Swara Bhasker has become a part of another string of controversies after she was shunned down by Pakistan actress Urwa Hocane after she called the country a "failing state."
After her newly-released film, "Veere Di Wedding" was banned in Pakistan, the actress made the comment over the country's government and development in general and also said people in Pakistan have a "way worse vocabulary" as compared to people in India.
Of course, her comments were not taken well with the neighboring country. Pakistan actress Urwa Hocane took to Twitter to set the terms straight.
In a three-post long rant, Hocane reminded her how the Bollywood actress had once called Pakistan as the “Best country you have ever visited” to calling her a "bitter person."
Hocane then termed Swara to be a "failing human being" for making contradictory statements regarding Pakistan.
Adding to Swara’s disadvantage, Twitter went crazy after Hocane posted a video from Swara’s visit to Pakistan in 2015. In her interview, Swara expressed her joy about visiting Pakistan and how wonderful she felt there.
Earlier this week, Veere Di Wedding was banned in Pakistan due to its “vulgar content”.
Pakistan is the country that you @ReallySwara referred to,in 2015, as the “Best country you have ever visited” and it has only gotten better in the last few years in every aspect along with when it comes to having bigger hearts and welcoming our guests . 1/3

2/3 While you’re on this spree of empowering women,i must say you’ve become a bitter person. And all of this is odd coming from a citizen of a state that bans their own films i.e. #Padmavat so let’s not talk about women empowerment.

3/3 This only reflects on u as an ignorant person who is also quiet contradictory in her own statements. It’s not a failing state for sure but u come across as a “Failing Human Being” !!! @ReallySwara
From the citizen of the Phenomenal Pakistan ??
