Bihar BJP MLA Maithili Thakur, a singer, recently criticized actress Swara Bhasker for her controversial remarks about the Jauhar scene in the film Padmaavat. Thakur stated that Bhasker made an "ugly remark" and suggested that she should not speak on the topic if she lacks knowledge about it. Thakur advised Bhasker to first study the history and then form an opinion.
The actress had previously sparked outrage by comparing the Jauhar scene in the film, which portrayed Rajput women committing mass self-immolation, to the experiences of rape survivors. She argued that the scene could send a negative message to rape survivors and suggested that they should "kill themselves" to save their honour.
The controversy gained further attention when actor Ranvir Shorey also criticized Bhasker for drawing a connection between Jauhar and rape survivors, calling it a "shameless" comparison. Padmaavat, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, features Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor, and Ranveer Singh among its lead actors.
