Amazingly talented actress Swara Bhaskar who earned laurels with the film ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’ starring Kangana Ranaut and made a considerable mark in the minds of the audience with the film ‘Raanjhanaa’ has taken a stand in support of the LGBT community (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender).
The actress who is head strong in giving out her honest opinions was recently a part of the panel discussion for the film ‘Timeout’. The discussion was on the topic of homosexuality as the film is also based on the same lines.
The expressive actress at the panel not only slammed the Article 377 which describes the community criminal but also said that, “It’s a shameful matter that in a democracy like ours, there is a law like Article 377 which criminalises a community who’re part of us and part of the country, and their acts. It’s saddening.”

The controversial Article 377 has been much in limelight lately; many Bollywood celebrities had come out in the open and had also supported the same. Not only did Swara comment on the controversial Article 377 but also gave her view on the innumerable bans in the country. The actress with regards to the numerous bans said, “There is a genuine problem of tolerance in our society and it’s only growing. It’s very strange because India is and always has been multicultural, multilingual, multiethnic, multiracial right from the Indus Valley times. As people, we’re becoming more and more intolerant of being able to live with difference in our society.”
Citing to the Article 377, Swara commented, “Being straight or gay is a personal choice“. Adding to the same she said, “It is completely normal and natural. There’s no hype in it. For all countries and especially India being a democracy, it is a right for everyone to express their identities in whatever fashion they wish to express.”
It is now clear that the highly talented actress Swara Bhaskar who is proving her magnificent acting skills with each of her movies is surely not the one who will shy away from expressing her daring opinions.
