I was like God, what happened to me 3 years ago was actually sexual harassment at work place. I never realized it because like you said, I managed to get away. Because the person did not touch me and I managed to ward it off,” Swara said.
She further said in the interview that I convinced myself and told that this director is being doing to me. Then she was said something serious. As according to her, the director was not being an idiot or an ass, he was being a predator.
Swara Bhaskar further said that there is a culture of silence, around sexuality in our society. And especially on the subject of sexual harassment, not only in Bollywood but everywhere around the world. She pointed out that, we are just going through our lives without recognizing it properly. We just recognize the discomfort.
