The talented Swara Bhasker turns 33 today….. Happy Birthday!
Be it down-to-earth roles like in Nil Battey Sannata, or glam avatar in Veere Di Wedding or something like Raanjhanaa, Swara offers a versatile range of acting.
Unfortunately, the film industry still judges people by appearance and beauty in spite of their acting chops. In the initial phase of her career, Swara Bhaskar too faced rejection because of her looks.
Once a director turned her down for looking ‘too INTELLIGENT’. We kid you not. Don’t we all love a beauty with brains? But looks like this director didn’t want the wisdom to come through.
Swara had opened up on the same while talking to the media – “I think everyone who comes to the industry has to face certain kind of rejection for how they look. Otherwise, people would not be spending so much money on makeup.
All this is a reflection of a person’s mindset. The first meeting I had when I came to Bombay, a director rejected me saying, you look too intelligent. I have still not understood what does this mean,” She further added.
She had then concluded by saying that one should focus solely on their work and ignore such comments. Not only a great actor, but Swara is also known to be quite the activist – vocal in her support for the farmers and criticism of the government.
