In a video shared on Instagram, Swara explained, “This morning, a clip of mine has been going viral on social media. It was from an event yesterday, where I was asked why I had sent an open letter to Sanjay Leela Bhansali after watching Padmaavat. While explaining what my issue was, I said something that is now being completely mistranslated and spread falsely, claiming that I had said that Rani Padmaavati and the other women who committed Jauhar were cowards.”

She further clarified, “Main clearly kehna chahti hoon. Maine aisa bilkul nahi kaha ki Rani Padmaavati kayar thi yaa Mahal ki baaki aurtien kayar thi. Jo log mujhe gaaliyan dena chahte hain, dijiye par sahi cheez pe dijiye. Maine kaha tha ki, jab main climax dekh rahi thi, mujhe laga, bhagwan naa kare, agar main rape peedita hoti toh main kayar mehsoos karti ki maine aapni jaan kyun nahi li, ki main balatkar ke baad zinda bach gayi toh main kayar hoon.”

Swara stressed she was commenting on society’s ongoing rape epidemic, not labelling women as cowards. “Yeh asliyat hai humare desh mein. Kya hume aisi filmein banani chahiye jahan yeh sandesh jaa raha hai ki aurat ki pavitrata uski zindagi se jyaada mulyawaan thi? Kya hume rape peedita ko yeh batana chahiye ki tumhari jaan hi chali jaati, toh sahi rehta, tum bach gayi toh yeh buri baat hai?” she questioned.

She also highlighted the resilience of women like Nirbhaya, emphasising that “one should never underestimate a woman’s will to live.” Swara reiterated her stance that her comments aimed to provoke reflection on how society perceives women’s honour and survival. It was espeicially in the context of the film’s depiction of Jauhar.
