Swara Bhasker Clarifies About The Masturbation Controversy In Veere Di Wedding!

Actress Swara Bhasker, who was trolled over a masturbation scene in her latest release “Veere Di Wedding“, says showing a girl gratifying herself in a film in a non judgemental way is empowering.

Swara, who plays Sakshi in the film, was asked by a user on Twitter about “how masturbating related to empowerment, and that empowerment does not mean that one should masturbate in public. It’s private”.

The 30-year-old actress said: “Sakshi was in her ‘private’ bedroom, not public. Masturbation is about owning ur body, sexuality. Empowering.

“In a culture that largely silences or ignores or shames female sexuality showing a girl gratifying herself in a film in a non judgemental way is empowering.”
