Love life, marriage, relationships
There should be a limit on the number of times you can fall in love because heart needs to rest. — Swastika Mukherjee's Facebook post on May 21. 2014, a day before what some call a suicide attempt, and others ‘a fit of rage.’
i) Pramit Sen and Swastika Mukherjee got married when she was 18. Subsequently they divorced. Their daughter Anwesha lives with Swastika. News on Indian Celebrities writes: “Even before Swastika Mukherjee got divorce [she] developed close relationship with her co-actors and directors:”
Actually, I have not dated as many men as people claim I have! Swastika to Kushali Nag
ii) Parambrata Chottopadhyay, an actor – director was (and remains) a bachelor at the time. Swastika had been separated from her husband, before the divorce. Parambrata was close to Anwesha.
I am a disaster as far as relationships are concerned. I am not good at it. I can’t be good at everything, yaar! I am good in bed, not in relationships! Swastika to Kushali Nag
iii) Jeet, an actor, and Swastika were seen in many late night parties. They broke up perhaps because ‘Jeet wanted Swastika to quit cinema and remains as a housewife but the actress was not ready to accept such life. Afterwards Jeet married Mohona Ratlani.’
iv) Dibyendu Mukherjee News on Indian Celebrities calls this ‘most probably the short lived relationship of Swastika’. Dibyendu came into her life during the shooting of film Nondinee. She met Srijit Mukherji around the same time ‘and the actress took no time to break the relationship with less popular Dibyendu Mukherjee.’
v) Srijit Mukherji This relationship lasted longer. Swastika once told a journalist ‘that very soon she would be known as Mrs. Mukherji (not Mukherjee).’ (News on Indian Celebrities) They split after they made Jaatishwar together.
The moment I think that this is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with, they run away! Swastika to Kushali Nag
vi) Suman Mukhopadhyay: This relationship started in February 2014. However, troubles stated soon thereafter. (See below.)

The May 2014 incident
The curious case of Swastika and Suman Mukhopadhyay
The Times of India TNN | May 27, 2014
Swastika Mukherjee did not attempt suicide, but hurt herself in a fit of rage, claim her close friends
Just over a day after her aforementioned Facebook post of May 21. 2014, when Swastika Mukherjee is believed to have checked into a five-star property little would she have known how the next few, hours would unfold. A tryst with director Suman Mukhopadhyay allegedly turned ugly, leaving the actress bleeding. She had to be admitted to hospital and needed plastic surgery. Though Swastika's friends say that she's always had anger management issues, they're clear on one point-she did not try to commit suicide on Saturday morning, but cut her arm with a broken bottle in a fit of rage.
On the sets, too, Swastika's irritable behaviour has left directors in a fix. Friends, it is heard, have even advised her to see a psychiatrist. In fact, even as she was recuperating in hospital, Swastika was reportedly guilty and kept asking if her relationship with Suman would work out. "This time too, I'll be left heartbroken," she is believed to have lamented to friends. Her parents and sister too are no less worried, since they've seen over the years how vulnerable she would be after every broken relationship.
Here's a blow-by-blow account of what is believed to have transpired between Swastika and Suman on Friday night. It has been pieced together from accounts of reliable sources who refused to go on record.
— Suman, who was in the US for work, had told friends that he would be back on the night on May 24. Swastika, on her part, told family and friends that she was leaving for Mumbai on May 22. The duo, it is believed, checked into a city five-star hotel on May 23.
— The couple reportedly stayed up all night and were engaged in a conversation that gradually got heated.
— Around 4 am, their tiff probably took a violent turn and Swastika, who was in an insane rage, asked Suman to leave. The director is believed to have gone straight home.
— Around this time, Swastika allegedly broke a glass bottle on her wrist, cutting herself and bleeding profusely . It is not clear if this happened before or after Suman left. It seems Swastika then called up a close friend. Since he was sleeping, he could not take her call and Swastika lay in that state alone in her room. When the friend woke up and saw the missed calls, he rushed to the hotel. The hotel authorities and her family had to be informed and she was taken to hospital sometime after 7.30 am.
Attitude towards on-screen nudity
Swastika Mukherjee has been quoted as saying, “I don't care myself. I know I am controversy's favourite child. And yes, I embrace nudity as I have nothing to hide.”
Daughter
Swastika Mukherjee acted with her school going daughter Anwesha in Mainak Bhaumik's Take One. Anwesha and Swastika Mukherjee’s work in the film was praised by critics.
The mother and daughter are more like friends and less like mother and daughter. Together watch they films like Akira Kurosawa films or an American television drama series. Swastika takes care of her daughter’s study. During examination days of Anwesha, Swastika is simply like any other strict mother. News on Indian Celebrities
