Bollywood actress Swara Bhaskar has questioned West Indies cricketer Daren Sammy for letting those who called him 'Kalu' in Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) franchise go easily.
Sammy said the word used by his teammates was operated from a place of love. "I’m pleased to say that I’ve had a really interesting conversation with one of the guys and we are looking at ways to educate rather than focusing on the negatives. My brother reassured me that he operated from a place of love and I believe him (sic),” he wrote in a tweet.

Responding to the cricketer, Swara wrote Sammy shouldn't forget the incident so easily. "Dear @darensammy88 if someone used the N word at a black person & said they "operated from a place of love" what would u say? Same with word 'Kaalu' & it's variations. And team members of @SunRisers. Show some decency & spine #SaySorryToDaren officially ! #thatsnotcricket @IPL," Swara tweeted.
Sammy didn't agree with Swara and said he isn't approving what was said against him. But the cricketer knows there is no other way than accepting the apology and educate the other person.
"Don’t get me wrong I’m not condoning what was done/said. I’m saying let’s use this opportunity to educate each other so it doesn’t happen again. One can only apologize if he/she feels wrong about something. I’m confident&proud to be black. That will never change," Sammy replied.
