He said that people were questioning why he had interacted with the actress despite previously saying that he would not speak to her. Explaining his decision, Siwet claimed that Swara had apologised during their conversation. He said the discussion about Jauhar was edited out of the show because such topics involving religion and community could not be shown in the same way.

According to Siwet, Swara told him that she respected Rajput queens and women but had a problem with the way the Jauhar sequence was portrayed in the film. He claimed that she questioned why the suffering of the women was not shown in greater detail. Siwet further alleged that he asked Swara to apologise to the Rajput community if she wanted to clarify her position. He claimed that she agreed and told him that she was ready to say sorry not only to the Rajput community but to the entire country if anyone had been hurt by her comments. Siwet also claimed that she said sorry four times during their conversation.

The controversy dates back to Swara’s comments about Padmaavat. While discussing the film’s Jauhar sequence, the actress had questioned how such a portrayal could affect women, particularly survivors of sexual violence. Her remarks sparked controversy at the time and led to considerable criticism on social media. Swara later clarified that she was expressing her personal response to the scene and was not calling the historical women who performed Jauhar cowardly.
