Swara Bhasker has reacted after seeing #ArrestSwaraBhasker trending on the Internet. The actor tweeted, "And that my friends is why most celebrities in India only raise their voices for elephants." This follows Bhasker's support to the jailed research scholar from Jamia Millia Islamia Safoora Zargar, who is pregnant but was denied bail.

Swara had recently travelled to Delhi from Mumbai after taking special permissions, amid Coronavirus pandemic. She went to Delhi to take care of her mother, who suffered a fracture in her right arm. "I was very concerned when I learnt about my mother's fall and the fracture to the right arm. My first impulse was to rush to Delhi....to look after my mom...but that was not possible due to the lockdown," Swara said.
