However, he didn't reveal whether it was a case of accidental or self-inflicted injury.

Rumour mills, on the other hand, say that the actress attempted suicide after a tiff with her filmmaker boyfriend. But her sister, Ajopa Mukherjee, rubbishes such talk. "She was hurt due to an accident that happened at her friend's place in the morning. I met her and all these rumours are false," she says.

Swastika has starred in popular Bengali films such as Mishawr Rawhoshyo, Jaatishwar, Take One and Brake Fail.
