Bollywood actress gets director's Twitter account locked for insensitive rape comment

The actress thanked Twitter for their prompt action.

In another example, Bollywood actress Swara Bhasker has proved that she is adept at handling trolls on social media.
Recently, the Veere Di Wedding actress expressed her solidarity with a rape survivor from Kerala. 

Absolutely shameful and disgusting!!!! Scum present across political spectrums and religious divides in India. Literally nauseating! https://t.co/zb8NkUaW5x

While few of her followers supported her, director Vivek Agnihotri wrote, "Where Is The Placard - #MeTooProstituteNun"
To which, Swara tweeted back, "Vivek. Just want to point out that you are using the trauma of women who are rape survivors to slut shame and abuse in public a woman you don't like. In the rare moments of sanity that may visit your brain - otherwise unhinged with hate- think about how low that is."

The fearless actress didn't stop there. She went ahead and reported the issue to Twitter, which led them to lock Vivek Agnihotri's account.
