Photo: Hindustan TimesSwara Bhasker after getting herself ensnared in controversy over her recent viral video of her abusing a child actor
has come forward defending herself.The Veere Di Wedding actor stepped ahead coming to her defense about the video that had the world talking
and condemning her for abusing a child on live television, as seen in a viral video clip.Bhumi Pednekar opens up about Bollywood's
alarming wage gap disparity&I was on a comedy show, narrating a funny incident about my first experience shooting in Mumbai
In that partly exaggerated and satirical narration, where I was using a comedic, adult and self-deprecating tone, I used certain swear words
The words were used to display in an adult-humorous tone, my exaggerated frustrations and emotions during my struggling days,& she told
IANS.&Comics do it all the time, and the show format is of a comedic genre
Most importantly, if you actually watch the show, you would realise that I actually was the one looking out for the child 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
The quip that children are evil was obviously a joke,& she added.Furthermore, speaking about the entire incident going out proportions, the
actor said: &Of course it did! 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.&&The problem with these frivolous controversies, whose agenda is to generate
fake outrage, is that sometimes while reporting them, the media plays into the hands of these people in terms of how the headlines are
On this issue most of the headlines scream — Swara Bhasker in trouble for abusing four-year-old child
I did not abuse that or any child
It important for me to correct that and at least put out a factually accurate version and the full context of what happened,& she
added.TheIndianSubcontinent has not verified the content of the source
