Despite her professional success, Swastika has often made headlines for her personal life. She married singer Pramit Sen at the young age of 18, but their marriage ended in divorce two years later. Swastika accused her ex-husband of physical abuse, although the charges were later dismissed. She has a daughter named Anwesha from this marriage.

In addition to her marital struggles, Swastika faced controversy when she was accused of shoplifting during a film festival in Singapore in 2014. Reports surfaced that she was caught trying to conceal a gold earring worth $255 in her handbag at a jewellery showroom. While Swastika claimed to have purchased the jewellery and had receipts, she was unable to provide proof of purchase. Although she denied intentionally shoplifting, the incident garnered significant media attention and scrutiny.

Despite these controversies, Swastika Mukherjee continues to thrive in her acting career, with her performances on OTT platforms earning her widespread acclaim and recognition.
