Barkha Bisht’s recent remarks on her character in Safed attracted a lot of flak from the LGBTQ community as well as the netizens. Taking to her X handle, Meera Chopra reacted to the comment and tweeted, “I disagree with Barkha’s statement suggesting that someone is ‘too pretty’ to play a transgender role. While I respect differing opinions, it’s crucial to convey such sentiments responsibly, especially when addressing sensitive matters like gender identity. Also, if someone believes they are too attractive for a particular role, perhaps they shouldn’t have accepted it.
