Swara Bhaskar thinks Article 377 is SHAMEFUL

Swara Bhaskar has come out in the support of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.


Actress Swara Bhaskar says Article 377 of the Constitution is "regressive and shameful".

Swara treated her fans and followers to a Q and A session on Twitter, where a fan asked her if she would like to portray a homosexual onscreen in a country where they are still fighting for their identity.

The 28-year-old actress, who holds a Master's degree in sociology from the Jawaharlal Nehru University, shared: "Yes, why not? I would take up any role as long as script offers potential to perform on gay rights I think in India...I think Article 377 is regressive, shameful and pre-modern! should go!"

Talking about role models, the "Nil Battey Sannata" said: "No one person. Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore for career and (Mahatma) Gandhi, (Nelson) Mandela, Martin Luther King for public life."

What about her wedding scene with screen writer Himanshu Sharma, asked a fan.

"No plans right now! Will announce it loudly when we decide!" she added.
