Pakistani VJ and actor Urwa Hocane is not happy with Veere Di Wedding actor Swara Bhasakar making two contradictory statements about Pakistan. On Sunday, Urwa posted two clips, one old and another from Saturday, from different interviews given by Swara to two different channels. While the first clip is from an interview she did on a Pakistani channel, the second is from a conversation between the team of Veere Di Wedding and Rajeev Masand of News 18 on June 2. Urwa wrote while tagging Swara in the post, “Need I say more?” The first clip shows Swara praising Pakistan and its people. She said, “Pakistan is not like how it is described, an enemy state. I swear, I have been to London, New York, Istanbul, Paris, every city fails in front of Lahore.” In the second video, she can be seen calling Pakistan a ‘failing state’. While pointing out Pakistan’s non-secular nature as a state, she said, “I don’t understand why we keep taking pleasure from all the silly things that happen in Pakistan. Swara also said that the Pakistani vocabulary is ‘way worse’ than what ‘we do’. Interestingly, in her interview with the Pakistani channel, she categorically praised Pakistan’s day-to-day vocabulary. On the work front, Swara’s latest film Veere Di Wedding that also features Sonam Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor and Shikha Talsania, has opened to packed houses. ott:10<doc-sep>Image Source : TWITTER Urwa Hocane slams Swara Bhaskar with a number of Tweets Swara Bhaskar is definitely the favourite child of controversies. The lady just doesn’t know how to keep her feeling to herself which has landed her in many troubles in the past. This time Swara faces heat from Pakistani actress Urwa Hocane for calling Pakistan a ‘failing state’. While Swara is enjoying the success of her just-released film Veere Di Wedding that hit the screens on June 1, Swara had her strong opinions as to why the film was banned in the neighbouring country Pakistan. In a recent interview with CNN News18, film critic Rajeev Masand the actress was asked about the same to which she responded by calling the country a 'failing state'. "For some reason, I have to keep answering for that. I don't know why people think I'm a spokesperson for the Pakistani government. What do you expect from a state that's run by Sharia Laws?," said Swara. She further added, "They're a nonsecular state. I'm not surprised at all. Why should we hold up Pakistan, which is a failing state -- I don't understand why we keep taking pleasure and feeling a sense of self-worth from all the silly things that happen in Pakistan. Apologies to all my Pakistani friends right now... Rest assured, Pakistanis have way worse vocabulary than we do. I know." This definitely didn’t go down well with our neighbours. After hearing this, Pakistani actress Urwa Hocane decided to school her. The actress slammed Swara in a number treats calling her ignorance and flip-flopping statements. Urwa even signed the tweet saying ‘From a phenomenal Pakistan.’ She tweeted- Adding to Swara’s disadvantage, Twitter went crazy posting pictures from Swara’s visit to Pakistan in 2015. In her interview, Swara expressed her joy about visiting Pakistan and how wonderful she felt there. She even said, “The amount of love we have received here. I have travelled to a lot of places, London, New York, Paris, Istanbul, they are all nothing compared to Lahore.” (Also read: Swara Bhasker trolled for a scene in Veere Di Wedding, the actress responds) Look what Twitter has to say- Here is Swara Bhaskar's interview- Along with Swara, Veere Di Wedding also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonam Kapoor and Shikha Talsania.<doc-sep>Urwa Hocane and Swara Bhasker.

Photo: File When asked by the interview what she thought about the recent ban of the film Veere di Wedding in Pakistan, the actress had this to say. “And why should we hold Pakistan, a failing state as a measure of self-worth?" To this Hocane took to social media expressing her thoughts regarding the Tanu Weds Manu actress’ comments. She also reminded Bhasker about her comments made in 2015, where she called Pakistan the “best country that she had ever visited”. Hocane then also reminded the actress, how India had recently banned their very own film Padmavat. "And all of this is odd coming from a citizen of a state that bans their own films i.e. #Padmavat so let’s not talk about women empowerment," Hocane wrote. Hocane then termed Swara to be a "failing human being" for making contradictory statements regarding Pakistan. Earlier this week, the film was banned in Pakistan due to its “vulgar content”. The film, which stars Kareena Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor in leading roles, released on June 1.<doc-sep>
After Veere Di Wedding starlet Swara Bhasker was seen articulating her views negatively about the recent ban of her film in Pakistan, actor Urwa Hocane stepped forward to silence the detestation about her country. In a video clip circulating on social media, the 30-year-old Indian actor was seen voicing out her opinions about the ban on her film in Pakistan, stating: “And why should we hold Pakistan, a failing state as a measure of self-worth?" It wasn’t long until her remarks had caused an outrage in the country with 26-year-old Pakistani model and actor Urwa Hocane standing up to defend her country. The ‘Na Maloom Afraad’ actor took to Twitter to retort to Bhasker’s comments stating: “Pakistan is the country that you @ReallySwara referred to, in 2015, as the “Best country you have ever visited” and it has only gotten better in the last few years in every aspect along with when it comes to having bigger hearts and welcoming our guests.” Urwa then went on to remind the Indian star of how their own country is also known for putting a ban on their own films, “While you’re on this spree of empowering women, I must say you’ve become a bitter person. And all of this is odd coming from a citizen of a state that bans their own films i.e. #Padmaavat so let’s not talk about women empowerment.” The bathing beauty further added: “This only reflects on u as an ignorant person who is also quiet contradictory in her statements. It’s not a failing state for sure but u come across as a “Failing Human Being”!!! @ReallySwara From the citizen of the Phenomenal Pakistan.” The film starring Bollywood’s famed Kareena Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor as the leading ladies had been barred form release in the country earlier this week for holding “vulgar content.”
