Asked if her breakup was difficult to handle, Swara told Pinkvilla, “I think you just have to sort of deal with it. In our case, it was very unfortunate. I didn’t have or I still didn’t have a lot of anger that could have helped me deal with it. Nobody did anything bad, nobody did anything wrong, nobody cheated on anyone. It was not those typical things, it was unfortunate.”

Further explaining the reason for her breakup, Swara added, “I always think about it. Supposing you are walking down a park and that’s what relationships are - you have decided to undertake a journey together. You come to a point where there are only two ways to go, you can either go left or right and one person wants to go right and the other person wants to go left. Then one of them have to say ‘okay I will leave mine and come with you’. If neither person wants to leave their direction then you just have to say goodbye. and maybe agree that itna hi tha humara journey. We have to accept not just our choices but also the choices of other people. I guess that’s what growing up is about. I think I am very needy and open about my feelings with my family and friends. So I had a lot of support.”
