'Immoral and salacious': Gulf censors Swara's self-pleasuring scene, actress reacts

A provocative scene in Veere Di Wedding, featuring Swara Bhaskar, has been censored in all Gulf countries for being immoral and salacious. In the scene, the actress’s character, Sakshi, is seen pleasuring herself when her husband barges in. Apparently, the sequence was highly disputed even among the members of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) when the film was screened for certification.

Says a source from the CBFC, “Some board members wanted the entire sequence to be snipped out. Other members felt that the sequence went too far. In fact, it showed the actress (Swara Bhasker) with a vibrator in her hand. The sequence was shortened even in India.”

Responding to the controversial sequence getting axed in the Gulf, Swara said, “I am unsurprised!”
