Dasgupta's Tweet That Caused A Huge Backlash 

Dasgupta lives a drama-free life hence, you don't hear any negative news surrounding her. But, she did receive a huge backlash for the tweet she made a while back. Her tweet regarding a sensitive topic, racism (which didn't seem like she was trying to attack anyone) didn't sit well with many people. 

Shadow and Bone actress, Dasgupta, like everyone else, tweeted about the issue of racism when the tension was high some time back. Her tweet highlighted the issue the black community face but she being a minority herself, further added that the racial discrimination other community faced are hardly talked about.

The tweet came at the wrong time and some defended Dasgupta saying she wasn't intending to offend anyone. Most people were upset with her tweet as they believed she was getting distracted from the issue. She is no longer on Twitter and it is unclear if this backlash was the reason behind her choosing to delete her account.

Shadow and Bone Controversy

Shadow and Bone have been Sujaya Dasgupta's most recognizable work so far in her career. The show was widely well-received but it found itself in controversy about what happened behind the scene.

The stunt double of the Nepali British actor, Amita Suman was a white woman. She was painted brown for the show, Shadow and Bone.

Independent has reported that the show makers hired a Hungarian stuntwoman, Vellai Krisztina, a white woman to do the action scenes of Suman. Once, the news came out, the outrage was huge and they let the makers know how they felt about this.
