Swara recalled,
“When I got out this guy actually tried to kiss my ear and said ‘I love you

actress also shared her thoughts on ‘feminism’. She said,
“Feminism is about a thought that there should be equality amongst the genders.
And equality not just of representation but equality of opportunity and
equality of accountability, which is something that not just women but a lot of
communities in India have not had, whether it is caste, whether it is women.
And for me, feminism is about giving women choice. So if some women choose to
be conservative or choose to deny themselves their own rights, what can I say?
I think it is completely legitimate to ask those women that why do they want to
tie themselves down?”
