Actress Swara Bhasker, who is currently seen in the reality show Pati Patni Aur Panga with her politician-husband Fahad Ahmad, hit back at a social media user who trolled him and called him "Chhapri."
Several videos of Swara and Fahad from the show, which recently premiered, have surfaced on social media. Reacting to the clip, the troll wrote on X, "After watching @Parineeti Chopra taking her husband to talk shows for PR, @ReallySwara thought of doing the same."
"She took his Dongri ka chapri husband to a reality show. Forget PR, his husband was looking like a street vendor from Dongri (sic)," the user further wrote.
Swara was in no mood to ignore the troll and she lashed out at him saying, "This twit who describes himself both as a proud Hindu and Ambedkarite does not seem to know that Chhapri is a casteist slang.. a derogatory term used to describe a community that fixes ‘chappars’ or thatched huts."
"Also nothing wrong with being a street vendor from Dongri or anywhere you casteist / classist trash-brain! #casteistAlert," the actress added.
Swara, known for her outspoken views, has often been at the center of online controversies. She is also subjected to trolling and hate because of her political views and opinions.
