In a recent interview with Connect Cine, Swara discussed the impact of political views on personal relationships. She highlighted that her disagreements with friends stem from moral differences rather than political ones. Swara explained that a person's political stance often reflects their morality and principles, which are foundational to any relationship. She emphasized that she cannot maintain friendships with individuals whose ethical values she does not respect. Swara articulated, “People say you lose friends over politics. But I saw a meme the other day that said that I have not lost friends over politics, I have lost friends over morals. And I like that a lot. Because your politics reflects your morality, your principles. It shows your ethical value system. So, if I don’t respect your ethical value system, then how can we stay friends?”
Swara further elaborated on her inability to sustain fake friendships, preferring to avoid such facades altogether. She stated that she cannot be friends with someone who justifies and celebrates acts of violence. “If you can justify and celebrate murder, then I can’t stay friends with you, as simple as that,” she asserted.

During the interview, Swara was asked to comment on an incident involving Kangana Ranaut, where she was reportedly slapped by a CISF official at the Chandigarh airport. Swara condemned the act, acknowledging that it was wrong, but she also pointed out that Kangana is alive and has security around her. She contrasted this with the plight of many who have lost their lives in violent incidents across the country. Swara remarked, “Anybody who is a reasonable person will say that whatever happened with Kangana was wrong. Kangana just got slapped–and even that should not have happened–but at least she is alive, and has her security around. In this country, people have lost their lives, they’ve been lynched to death, shot dead in a train by a security personnel, in riots, security personnel have been recorded beating up people. Jo log ye saare acts ko justify kar rahe hai, woh phir aake Kangana ke case pe hume mat sikhao.”
