Kangana Ranaut’s interview on Republic TV’s Nation Wants to Know has sparked a controversy over her strong statements on Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. Moreover, her statement questioning the likes of Taapsee Pannu and Swara Bhasker also became a talking point after the actor reacted and led to trading of heated and sarcastic statements. In the latest development among their barbs at each other, Swara mocked Kangana’s statement that her film Queen was responsible for the parallel cinema awakening and start of feminism, while the latter's team defended the statement.
Kangana recently appeared on R Bharat, where she was quoted as saying, “There are chaploos (sycophant) outsiders, like Taapsee Pannu and Swara Bhasker, who say that ‘we received a lot of love’; they don’t have a problem with anything."
"When I was fighting for outsiders and their rights and if today they are doing these kinds of films, it's because I have brought out the parallel cinema. When they talk about feminism, that had started with 2014 film Queen. They call me ‘extremist’, stated that my life experiences are ‘weird’ and say that I don’t get work and that’s why I talk about nepotism.”
Sharing the clip on Twitter, Swara joked that it was Kangana who had 'started the parallel cinema movement' with Satyajit Ray’s Pather Panchali in 1955 and that she had started feminism with her Queen and she was 'responsible for India’s independence.' Swara also stated that ‘it is being said that chaploos outsiders were reaping the fruits and seeds of chaploosi.”

Team Kangana responded to ‘Dear Swara’, and wrote that none of the actresses were born in the Golden Era of Indian cinema, which had become a ‘big stinking gutter’ after gangsters ‘took over the industry.’ Reiterating that femininism and parallel cinema happened with Queen, they asked Swara when it had happened.
Here’s the post

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.
