Swara Bhasker recently addressed online criticism after a video of her preparing for Iftar drew attention for featuring a Nestlé product.
The clip sparked debate on social media, with some users pointing out that Nestlé appears on certain boycott lists linked to the Palestinian cause. The broader campaign urges consumers to avoid brands they believe are associated with Israel.
Swara Acknowledges Feedback
In a follow-up video shared online, Swara responded directly to the concerns raised.
She explained that she had posted stories showing her Iftar preparations and noticed comments highlighting the use of Nestlé Milkmaid. According to her, she had not been mindful of the brand at the time.
Swara said she supports the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement and tries to apply those principles in her personal life, particularly when it comes to consumer products. However, she acknowledged that navigating such choices can sometimes be challenging.
“I’m still learning,” she said, thanking followers for pointing it out and adding that she would try to be more careful going forward.
Mixed but Largely Supportive Reactions
The video triggered varied responses online. While some users criticised her initial oversight, many appreciated her willingness to address the matter openly.
Supporters praised her for acknowledging the feedback and attempting to respond thoughtfully. Several comments highlighted that public figures taking accountability contributes to more transparent conversations.
Professional Updates
On the work front, Swara recently appeared alongside her husband, politician Fahad Ahmad, on the reality show Pati Patni Aur Panga, which features real-life celebrity couples participating in light-hearted challenges.
She is also awaiting the release of her upcoming film Mrs Falani, described as a social comedy-drama in which she will reportedly portray multiple characters across different regions and dialects.
