Ever Since Sushant Rajpit died, Bollywood and media have been taking sides. Those supporting Rhea Charaborthy and getting vindictive at Arnab Goswami is Swara Bhaskar. She has indirectly targeted Republic TV owned by Arnab Goswami and used Zomato to target him. The food delivery giant has found itself in the middle of another controversy again. It started with Bollywood actress Swara Bhasker pointing out that Zomato’s ads were displayed on Arnab Goswami’s Republic TV. Swara said that being a loyal user, she wasn’t okay with her “money even indirectly funding this kind of communal bigoted hate!”
She tweeted: “Hey @zomatoin @zomato @deepigoyal I’m your regular customer.. do u plan to #DefundTheHate & pull your ads from hate espousing channels like @Republic_Bharat ? I’m not okay with my money even indirectly funding this kind of communal bigoted hate! Pls let your consumers know.” Last month, brands like Bajaj Auto and Parle blacklisted news channels citing they do not want to be associated with platforms that are “a source of toxicity in the society”. Zomato commented on the post with, “Hi Swara, please note, we don’t endorse any content except our own. That being said, we are looking into this.” A section of netizens were quick to target Swara and also threatened to boycott Zomato.
