Bollywood actor Swara Bhasker makes news not just for her
Bollywood films but also for straight forward comments on social media. She has
now reacted to a meme shared by a Twitter user that said how tennis star Manika
Batra is more beautiful and talented than actresses like Taapsee Pannu and her.

Along with a picture of Manika, the meme read, ‘More
beautiful than woke actors like Taapsee or Swara Bhaskar and definitely more
talented than them. One and only Manika Batra.’ Sharing the same on her Twitter
handle, Swara wrote, ‘Many congratulations to #ManikaBatra and every other
female achiever in any field!!!’

On Sunday, Manika, ranked 62, won against world number 32
Margaryta Pesotska to reach the women’s singles third round in the ongoing
Tokyo Olympics. It is also said that the tennis star has got several modeling offers
in the past but she declined all.

Swara, on the other hand, in one of her interviews with
ETimes earlier this year shared how she has now learnt to tackle the social
media trolls with a positive mindset and witty comments.

She said, “It really depends on how the day is for me. If I
am having a good day, I really don’t care. If I am down, I give it back to
them. Some days you deal with them in a better way, some days you just cannot.
But I have learnt to deal with them.

“I think I have developed a thick skin
towards them. I always try to use humour and wit because I am aware that I am
not the only person who is facing this. I know a lot of people are facing this,
especially women. Men also, bit more women. I feel we should all draw strength
from each other. I want people to look at me and say we can deal with this too,
you know. And it is not their fault that they are being trolled. The shame
shouldn’t lie on us. We are the victims here. We are not doing anything wrong
by speaking our mind.”
