Hate Story filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri is making headlines these days for his ugly spat with Veere Di Wedding actress Swara Bhasker. The filmmaker was forced to take down an abusive tweet against the actress after microblogging site Twitter locked his account for violating its rules.<\/p>\n
In response to Swara\u2019s tweet praising Twitter for their step, Vivek Agnihotri wrote, \u201cDear @ReallySwara, thnx for curbing my FoE. Very liberal,indeed. It\u2019s given me strong motivation & made me more determined to defeat India\u2019s enemies- #UrbanNaxals. Last time it was your mother who stopped my film at JNU. And you know what happened. Thnx for rejuvenating our fight\u201d It clearly seems that their fight dates back in time and this is just a new way of letting it out.<\/p>\n
It all started when the actress slammed Kerala MLA PC George for making objectionable remarks against the nun demanding the arrest of a bishop who allegedly raped her. \u201cAbsolutely shameful and disgusting!!!! Scum present across political spectrums and religious divides in India. Literally nauseating!\u201d the actor tweeted with respect to George\u2019s statement. Agnihotri replied, in a reference to the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment and sexual assault, \u201cWhere is the placard – #MeTooProstituteNun?\u201d<\/p>\n
This infuriated Swara and she called out the director for \u201cusing the trauma of women who are rape survivors to slut shame and abuse in public a woman you don’t like\u201d. \u201cIn the rare moments of sanity that may visit your brain otherwise unhinged with hate – think about how low that is #scum,\u201d her tweet continued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
