Swara Bhasker hates being referred to as Bollywood's 'outspoken actress.'
The reason being her failure to give honest film reviews at screenings.
Swara said in a new interview that she lies at film screenings all the time and never gives a negative review to a film or performance.
Also, she only comments on issues that ‘are relevant to a greater, larger good.'
The Veere Di Wedding starlet said, “I am beginning to hate this label. I don’t even know what it means. I am always lying to people at film screenings about how their film was. I do that very well. I don’t give views if I don’t feel they are relevant to a greater, larger good.
"I never give negative reviews to films. If I don’t like it, I don’t say anything or I lie... Because as an actor, I know the kind of work that goes into making a film and into people’s performances. Even if it has failed to achieve what it tried to do, there is an effort there that I know, because I am from that world.”
“People think I am very critical and outspoken. I am like, you don’t know half the s**t that I am not saying! It’s a slightly tiring label to carry around now,” she said.
