Popular Bengali actress Swastika Mukherjee has had a prolific career in films and television. Daughter of veteran actor Santu Mukhopadhyay, she made her TV debut with Devdasi and stepped into cinema with Hemanter Pakhi (2001). She landed her first lead role in Mastan (2004) and later made her Hindi film debut with Mumbai Cutting (2008). She is among the beloved actresses, yet her personal life have frequently taken centre stage, overshadowing her professional life. In a recent interview, she gave insights about her relationships and how media portrayed all of it.
In a conversation with Jitesh Pillai on the show In The Ring With Filmfare Bangla, Swastika revealed that she had been linked to multiple co-stars over the years. Sharing how it affected her, the actress said, “I have actually never had any hanky-panky. I just did not have it in my life. The media wants to speak about everybody and anybody with whom you even go for coffee. That can’t affect us, but that is the reality.” Swastika further clarified that she had only 6 serious relationships, but it all felt like 600.
Jitesh then humorously added, “6 is appallingly low. Shame on you.” Further adding on mischievously, she admitted that it’s a pretty low number. “It’s bad (laughs). I just want to, you know, do more now. Finish as much as I can before I touch 50.” Swastika said.

Apart from her prolific work, the actress has been subjected to many headlines regarding her controversies. She is known for boldly speaking out her mind and leading life with no conditions. For the unversed, in 1998 at the age of 18, Swastika got married to Promit Sen, son of of famous Rabindra Sangeet singer Sagar Sen. But their marital life didn’t go well, lasting two years before the couple got separated. The actress accused her husband of domestic violence, stating that he physically abused her when she was pregnant with their daughter, Anwesha. Swastika even laid dowry charges on Promit and his family.
However, after ten years, Swastika released a press release, stating that all these allegations she made against her husband was not true. She admitted in the court that the charges made by her against Promit were, “unfounded, false, baseless and speculative.”
When asked Swastika why she falsely accused her husband, the actress stated during a press conference, “I was young, I did not have enough sense back then and I did what my family, friends and peers advised me to do. I am deeply sorry for all that Promit and his family has had to go through. I hope he can move on.”
After her divorce, Swastika was allegedly linked to several popular actors like Jeet, Parambrata Chatterjee and Dev. There were also rumours that she was in a serious relationship with filmmaker Suman Mukhopadhyay. Reportedly, when things didn’t work out between the couple, the actress tried to commit suicide by slashing her arm with a broken bottle.
