The film which marked a turning point in the career of Aditya Chopra as the garnered a cult following over the years. Celebs from B-town wished the entire team on the monumental occasion but while wishes have been pouring in from all sides for the team, Swara criticised Shah Rukh Khan’s character in the film. According to her, the movie makes stalking seem romantic. A Twitter user listed down a few problematic behaviour of ‘Raj’ aka Shah Rukh Khan in DDLJ. Listing them down, he asked why women love creeps?
Sadly u r are right.. I mean abt what all Raj does.. This is precisely the power of #Bollywood right? It makes stalking seem romantic. And we all are influenced by it - sometimes in the form of nostalgia & sometimes despite our own best intent. We all need to learn & change :) :) https://t.co/LTXIDMz3NP

He wrote, ‘Raj does the following to Simran: 1. Lie that he raped her as a joke. 2. Tears her clothes in public (accidentally, but who pulls a woman by the back of her dress anyway?) 3. Forces her to dance, and in the process gropes her and feels up her bare back Why do women love creeps?’Replying to the tweet, Swara too criticized Shah Rukh Khan’s character in the film which glorifies stalking. She also emphasized on the fact that we all need to learn and change. She wrote, ‘Sadly u r are right.. I mean abt what all Raj does.. This is precisely the power of #Bollywood right?
