MUMBAI: Swara Bhasker defended her Veere Di Wedding co-star Kareena Kapoor Khan when she was trolled for ‘marrying a Muslim’ and for naming her son Taimur.

Swara tweeted a photograph of Kareena holding a placard asking for the justice for the eight-year-old girl, who was gang-raped and murdered in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua district.

In response, a social media user wrote: “She should be ashamed of the fact that despite being a Hindu is married to a Muslim. Has a child with him and named him Taimur, after a brutal Islamic barbarian.”

To this, Swara replied: “You should be ashamed you exist. That God gave you a brain which you chose to fill with hate and a mouth you chose to spew filth from. You are a shame on India and Hindus. That sh*ts like you feel emboldened to talk this crap publicly is this government’s legacy.”

Swara is known for speaking her mind. Earlier, she called out Sanjay Leela Bhansali for glorifying women sacrifice in his last film Padmaavat.

On Sunday morning, she also lashed out to an Indian author who criticised Bollywood celebrities for holding placards which called for banning rape.
