People Feel Uncomfortable To Talk About Women's Desires & Needs: Swara Bhaskar
Swara Bhaskar opens up about women's sexuality, desires and needs & says that our society is still not open to discuss these subjects.
Swara Bhaskar starred in a video alongside Taapsee Pannu addressing the issue of 'How much cleavage is good cleavage' and the clip received positive response from many. Swara doesn't really hesitate to talk about women's sexuality and desires and said that people who still feel uncomfortable talking about it, need to change their mindset for good! She said,
"People
are
squeamish
about
female
sexuality.
We
are
embarrassed
about
female
sexuality
and
the
female
body,
and
if
someone
talks
about
it
in
a
normal
way,
the
reaction
is
'oh
my
God'.
The
'hawww'
feeling
(of
being
astonished)
is
big
one
in
the
lives
of
women;
it's
silly
and
wrong.
It
is
reflective
of
the
kind
of
society
we
live
in."
She further commented that society will not change immediately but the process will take time. "It will be slow, but we will get there. The media also plays an important role in bringing about change. There was a time when sati and child marriage were accepted practices, but over the years, it has changed. So will this (outlook towards women)."
Swara Bhaskar also revealed that change can only happen when society is "creating a public discourse that is supportive of women and women who are open about their lives, struggles and their bodies".
On the work front, her latest fim Anaarkali of Arrah spoke loud and clear about 'consent' and the film is bold and endearing. However, the movie could not make an impact at the box office and just collected a mere sum of Rs 10 Lakhs on the first day of its release and further dipped in the coming days.
