Social media star Swara Bhasker recently posted on instagram to inform her followers that her X (formerly known as Twitter) account has been permanently suspended after posting a Happy Republic Day message. The actress from Tanu Weds manu has criticized the X team in a lengthy social media post.

She shared a picture of the email sent to her by X team and wrote, "(You can't make this stuff up!!!!) Dear X, Two images from two tweets have been marked as 'copyright infringements'. Basis which my X account is locked / disabled, I can't access it and permanent suspension has been approved by your teams. One with an orange background and text in hindi Devnaagri script reading "Gandhi Hum Sharmindaa hain, Tere qaatil zindagi hain" is a popular slogan of the progressive movement in India. There is no copyright violation. It is akin to urban modern folk idiom."

She further wrote, "The second image marked as a violation is an image of MY OWN child with her face concealed waving an indian flag and with writing 'HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY India'. How can this possibly be a copyright infringement ???? Who has a copyright on my child's likeness??? Both of these complaints are ridiculous and untenable by any rational, logical and objective understanding of any legal definition of copyright. If these tweets have been mass reported they are aimed to harass the user I.e. myself and are aimed at suppressing my freedom of speech and expression. Kindly review and reverse your decision. Thanks, Swara Bhaskar."

Swara had previously made news due to a few of her tweets. The actress's arguments with celebrities and other individuals on social media were really very well-known. She was less active on social media in the last several months, though, after becoming a mother.
 
We'll have to wait and see whether Swara's account is reinstated.
