Trying different genres and roles bring in a lot of variety and versatility in an actor.”
Talking about the social issue around a woman’s virginity, Swati shares, “Virginity before marriage is still an untouched subject that people in small towns and certain strata of the society need to be aware of. Educating people around the country is a need in today’s times as the society has been a witness of gruesome crimes like murder, harassment and domestic abuse. It has become the need of the hour to make men aware that ‘Virginity’ as a concept varies from women to women and they should respect it.”
