Mumbai: Bollywood actress Swara Bhasker has once again made headlines. This time, not for her work in films, but for her powerful words on the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
The actor and activist shared an emotional and heartbreaking post on Instagram, where she expressed her frustration, helplessness, and horror about the atrocities taking place in Palestine.
The images from Gaza haunt her daily. She wrote about seeing wailing parents, headless children, and people being blown apart by bombs.
Swara used bold statements to drive home her message. “Burning people alive is not normal! Slaughtering babies is not normal! Bombs are not normal!!!” she emphasized.
She accused the Western world of creating wars and weapons and conducting genocides under the disguise of normalcy.
“Speak up against genocide!” she urged, along with a broken heart and Palestinian flag emoji. Swara further added that we are witnessing the worst of war crimes being live-streamed on our phones, and by not acting, we are all slowly losing our humanity.
“Israel is not just destroying Gaza and decimating Palestine, it is robbing the human race of our humanity,” she wrote.
“Today, a man being burnt alive in a tent. An actual living man burning alive!” she wrote.
She ended her message with the hashtag: #genocideisnotnormal.
