  • Bollywood Judges You On Your Looks, Says Swara Bhaskar
Actress Swara Bhaskar, who was last seen on-screen in the film "Nil Battey Sannata", says that actors are judged on the basis of their looks in Bollywood.
 
Swara on Sunday evening treated her fans and followers to a question and answer session on Twitter, where a fan asked her one lesson that the Hindi film industry has taught her. 
 
And she answered: "That you are judged on your looks. There's no avoiding it...Taught me the meaning of and how to follow the adage 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do' Ask Swara Anything."
 
Another user asked the "Tanu Weds Manu" star if Bollywood's glamour has over powered the elements of different theatre forms?
 
Swara shared that the two mediums should be viewed in competition. 
 
"But the fact is theatre is really the actor's medium. And will always remain. Cinema is director's medium," she added. 
 
Talking about social media trolls, the 28-year-old actress said: "I don't know any celebs who troll themselves. Trolling is a pathetic and cowardly act. Trolls are faceless bullies."
