For the unversed, Karnataka High Court on Thursday (February 17) began the hearing on the ongoing hijab controversy that left students of Hindu and Muslim communities divided and led to protests in the state. This marks the fifth consecutive day of the proceedings.

The court is hearing the petition filed by a bunch of female Muslim students claiming that they were denied to attend classes due to the headscarves based on a government order that bans the entry of hijab-clad students into the classes.

Last year, Swara won the Best Actress in a Supporting Role award at the Soho London Independent Film Festival, 2021 for her role as Sitara in Sheer Qorma.

The actress has featured in popular films such as Tanu Weds Manu, Nil Battey Sannata, Raanjhanaa and Veere Di Wedding.
