TellyChakkar got in touch with Swarda and quizzed her on her stint in Naagin 5. She said, “We’ve really worked hard on making Mayuri stand out. Surbhi Chandna’s character as Bani was quite powerful, and the makers wanted to create an antagonist at par with Bani. I believe we were successful in getting Mayuri the kind of buzz she received. A lot of credit should be given to the director of the show, Ranjan Sir. The moment I walked into the sets, he told me that I as Mayuri, will never have a fringe on my forehead. He suggested that I always have a smiling face on screen.”

She added, “My fans were completely surprised and didn’t expect me to nail such a role. They were elated, and so was I. I used to look forward to going on the sets for shoot. I loved the styling, and the clothes that I wore helped me ace the role better. I had an amazing time shooting for Naagin 5.”
