Mirzapur star Shriya Pilgaonkar has spoken out about Swara Bhasker's recent controversy surrounding her remarks on the film Padmaavat and its portrayal of the jauhar scene. During an interview, Shriya emphasized that people should not judge the values and circumstances of past eras through today's lens. She pointed out that cultures and societal norms evolve over time, making it unfair to pass judgment on events that took place centuries ago.
Swara Bhasker sparked the controversy by questioning the message the jauhar scene from Padmaavat sends to survivors of sexual violence. She expressed concern that the depiction of around 800 women committing jauhar could make survivors feel like they were cowards for not taking their own lives to save their honor. Swara further argued that such a message could be interpreted as suggesting that rape equals the end of a woman's life.
Shriya clarified her stance, emphasizing that her comments were not meant to label Rani Padmavati or the women who performed jauhar as "cowards." She stressed that such judgments are unfair given the vastly different societal contexts and circumstances of the past. Shriya also noted that cultures constantly evolve with time, circumstances, and human traditions, making it impossible to judge the mindset and values of people from centuries past.
