Swara Bhasker Takes A Jibe, Says SRK’s DDLJ Makes Stalking Seem Romantic

Mumbai: ‘Rasbhari’ actress Swara Bhasker took to social media recently to criticize Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol’s iconic movie ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.’

Slamming SRK’s character in DDLJ, Swara said that the movie encourages stalking and makes it appear quite romantic.

Swara’s criticism came after a Twitter user pointed out Raj’s objectionable behaviour in the movie.

“Raj does the following to Simran — 1. Lie that he raped her as a joke; 2. Tears her clothes in public (accidentally, but who pulls a woman by the back of her dress anyway?); 3. Forces her to dance, and in the process, gropes her and feels up her bare back. Why do women love creeps?” pointed out the Twitter user.

Reacting to the above tweet, Swara wrote, “Sadly u r are right.. I mean abt what all Raj does.. This is precisely the power of #Bollywood right? It makes stalking seem romantic. And we all are influenced by it – sometimes in the form of nostalgia & sometimes despite our own best intent. We all need to learn & change 🙂 :)”

Shah Rukh-Kajol starrer DDLJ was a superhit and completed 25 years on October 20.

The movie also stars Farida Jalal, Amrish Puri, Anupam Kher, Mandira Bedi, Parmeet Sethi and others in key roles.
