New Delhi: Actor Swara Bhasker who is known for being vocal about politics and matters pertaining society, culture and in general, recently schooled a food blogger over 'her proud to be a vegetarian' tweet. Recently, Nalini Unagar took to her official X( formerly Twitter) handle to share a picture of her meal which consisted of fried rice and paneer dish.
Swara reacts to Nalini's post
Honestly… I don’t understand this smug self righteousness of vegetarians. Your entire diet is made up of denying the calf its mother’s milk.. forcibly impregnating cows then separating them from their babies & stealing their milk. You eat root vegetables? That kills the whole… https://t.co/PqHmXwwBTR

"I'm proud to be a vegetarian. My plate is free from tears, cruelty and guilt," Nalini wrote.
Swara responded to the tweet and said, "Honestly… I don’t understand this smug self-righteousness of vegetarians. Your entire diet is made up of denying the calf its mother’s milk.. forcibly impregnating cows then separating them from their babies & stealing their milk."
"You eat root vegetables? That kills the whole plant! Please relax with the virtue signalling just because it’s Bakr Eid! (Folded hands emojis)."
Bakr Eid, also known as Edi al-Adha, is being celebrated on June 16-17.
Swara finding cultural similarities
Swara's tweet has come months after she celebrated Eid al-Fitr. She spent the festival with her husband, Fahad Ahmad and their daughter, Raabiyaa.
Swara had shared pictures from her Eid celebrations on Instagram.
Last year, Swara held a chhathi puji for Raabiyaa. She also shared glimpses from the celebrations and added that she has been able to find cultural similarities between her and Fahad's families.
Swara had written, "The child is a mish mash of the mish mash we are.. So she’s 62.5% UP.. 12.5% Bihar.. 25% Andhra.. And I’m all for representation and I’m always here for celebration! Moreover, since our wedding, we’ve been discovering common cultural practices that both Hindus and Muslims in North India share which reinforces my belief that human beings can come from all manner of diversity but love and joy will find a common language!"

“Chhathhi or the 6th day of the child’s birth is celebrated across UP Bihar where the mom & child are dressed in the colour of Haldi / turmeric and the aunts /bua puts kaajal on the child and mom and dad to protect the child and family from ‘nazar’ or the evil eye! I’m singing a popular ‘sohar’ (songs of celebration for newborns). Traditionally sohars mostly celebrate male newborns, I’ve tailored it for a newborn girl.. oh! And mothers don’t sing the sohars, sisters & aunts do but I was like dholak aa gaya hai so why not! Thank you Bhanu ji @partapsinghb11 for the dholak that made my singing bearable and @manisha2967 for the tutorial on Chhathhi and the lovely singing that I couldn’t edit in,” she had written.
