Swara Bhasker on Malayalam Film Industry Scandal: 'Male-Centric and Predatory'

Swara Bhasker has responded to the scandal involving sexual abuse in the Malayalam film industry, expressing deep heartbreak over the Hema Committee's findings on harassment. She praised the Women In Cinema Collective for their efforts in addressing issues of sexual harassment and violence. In her statement, Swara described the entertainment industry as a "male-centric industry with a patriarchal power setup" and noted that speaking out often results in being labeled a troublemaker. On a personal note, Swara married politician Fahad Ahmed in February 2023, and the couple welcomed their daughter, Raabiyaa, in September 2023.
