Swara Bhasker is known in Bollywood as a individual who is extremely vocal on social media. She always puts forth her opinion, without caring whether it would be have a negative effect on her or not. She describes herself as an ‘armchair activist’ and ‘Twitter Warrior’. Recently, she engaged in yet another Twitter war with Ashoke Pandit, who is a filmmamer and the director of Indian Film and TV Directors’ Association.
Well, it had started when Swara shared a Google form to help migrants travel from Delhi NCR to UP and Bihar. She asked people who are migrants or know of someone who wants to go home to fill it up. To this, Ashoke Pandit brought the matter of CAA protests. Here is what he wrote:

This did not go down well with Swara, who pointed out that Pandit has been cyber-stalking her and that it’s creepy. She also said that it seems that he is obsessed with her and this does not look good for his age! Here is what she wrote:

Also, मैं NRC-NPR के लिए काग़ज़ दिखाने के ख़िलाफ़ थी, ट्रेन टिकट के लिए नहीं! #CommonSense ?????? https://t.co/1Vl1q28b7G

Ashoke Pandit retorted with the point that Swara called her ‘Ashoke Uncle’. He later deleted the tweet, but Swara was quick to respond to it and said that she was referring to him as uncle only because she has worked with his daughter. Here is her tweet:

Personal attack नहीं -u constantly tag me ये fact है- पर facts से तो आपको परहेज़ है! ?? https://t.co/MjsugEz6ju
