'Your entire diet is made up of denying calf its mother’s milk': Swara Bhaskar slams food blogger over her tweet on Bakr Eid

Actor Swara Bhasker sparked controversy again with her criticism of vegetarian food blogger's tweet before Bakr Eid. The blogger posted a photo of her meal, consisting of fried rice and paneer, stating, "I'm proud to be a vegetarian. My plate is free from tears, cruelty, and guilt."

Swara responded sharply, and wrote, "Honestly, I don’t understand this smug self-righteousness of vegetarians. Your entire diet is made up of denying the calf its mother’s milk... forcibly impregnating cows then separating them from their babies & stealing their milk. You eat root vegetables? That kills the whole plant! Please relax with the virtue signaling just because it’s Bakr Eid! ??"

She raised the ethical concerns of separating calves from their mothers for milk production and the impact of root vegetable harvesting. Swara also referenced Bakr Eid, cautioning against excessive virtue signaling during the festival.


Later, Swara shared glimpses of her Eid al-Adha celebrations on social media. In one of the pictures, Swara was seen with Raabiyaa as she kissed her head. In another picture, Swara and her daughter posed for a family picture.


"It was Raabu’s first Bakr-Eid .. Even though Fahad Zirar Ahmad and I weren’t in the same city my parents and friends made this first Eid joyous and celebratory for Raabu. I feel so grateful that my baby has a tribe that knows that festivals are meant to share joy & love. Heart & tummy is full ! Blessed! "

Bhasker is known for her roles in 'Nil Battey Sannata', the 'Tanu Weds Manu' franchise, 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo', 'Veere Di Wedding', and others.
