Kangana Ranaut's team (unverified Twitter page handled by actor's team) on Tuesday claimed that her film Queen was responsible for the parallel cinema awakening and the start of feminism. While Swara in her first reaction mocked Kangana's statement, the latter then responded by saying, "Please correct us when it happened?"

To this, Swara in a series of three tweets explained how Sridevi's English Vinglish (2012) came before Queen (2014) and was considered a feminist film. She also highlighted that she doesn't consider Queen as a parallel cinema film. Further when a user claimed that Kangana Ranaut threw a tantrum and abused Swara Bhasker on the sets of Tanu Weds Manu Returns, Swara said, "#SupportMax by reigning national award-winning outsider-star to “needy- outsider” ! Circa 2014. Sigh! Such #happymemories@teamkangana" [sic]

Earlier, Swara had poked fun at Kangana calling her a ‘needy outsider’ and asking why she was considered a ‘B-grade actress’ on the Republic TV interview, and said that Kangana calling her ‘better looking & better actor than Alia Bhatt & Ananya!” was a compliment. On Monday, she joked again that she needed facts, but asked Kangana, “What do you need”, while using the hashtag #Needyoutsider.
