Veere Di Wedding, which released on June 1, is a movie that would perhaps make Pahlaj Nahlani hit the pause button within a minute. The movie shows women casually discussing sex, using expletives and the film even manages to slip in a masturbation scene. And that seems to have irked a few trolls…or as the trolls are putting it — their grandmothers are upset.

Hundreds have bombarded Swara Bhaskar’s feed with their ‘grandma’ concerns. In fact, the same message was tweeted from several other accounts as well.

Apparently, a bunch of grandmothers has some views over a scene in which Swara Bhaskar’s character masturbates, but the only issue all the tweets are exactly same with the exact same error.

For some inexplicable reason, there seems to be a tremendous demand for Veere Di Wedding among Indian grandmothers, regardless of their alleged, consistent (word-to-word consistent!) opinion after the film. pic.twitter.com/VCn1wroHlf

For some weird reasons, people who cant spell “Masturbation” are going to watch #VeereDiWedding with their Grandmothers and want answers from @ReallySwara pic.twitter.com/CAB1ab5b4O

Earlier this year, when Bollywood celebs, including Veere Di Wedding leads, joined the silent protest and voiced their concerns about the Kathua and Unnao rapes, they were attacked by a bunch of right-wingers on social media for having an opinion. And once again, just after the two days of the film’s release, Swara has been receiving the tweets which are not just the same but are posted in a way similar to the protests on the rapes.

Swara, though, is known for always speaking her mind and gave it back to trolls on this occasion as well.

Looks like a certain IT cell sponsored the tickets- or definitely the tweets !!!! https://t.co/KIUqMoOLRG

@Joydas you bring so much joy to my Twitter timeline.. I wish paid trolls would at the very least re-arrange the sentences and run a spell check before their paid tweet attacks #PaidTrollsKiPolKhulGayi #SakshiSlays https://t.co/pxHyjKthXH

And since memes have become the air we breathe, Twitter is no strange a space for them.

Hey @ReallySwara just watched #VeereDiWedding with my grandmother. I saw many sanskari grandmothers telling their sanskari grandchildren to tweet “I’m hindustan and i am ashamed of #VeereDiWedding“.

My chilled out grandmother told me to tweet about this.

Despite the backlash, Rhea Kapoor’s movie has made a smashing entry at the box office.
