Meanwhile, actress Swara Bhasker extended her support to the 34-year-old actress Chadda on Twitter and wrote this is absolutely shameful and to be condemned in no uncertain terms. She said people can have ideological issues and problems with a film but this is criminal intimidation and incitement to violence. Ambedkarites, Dalit feminists and just sane people- stand up and call this out, she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
