The actor says she would prefer writing fiction stories, but feels it may be “easier to start with non-fiction”. “One day, I want to write a novel. But I don’t think I am capable of doing that just now,” says Swara, who is currently busy developing Split Ends and two other new scripts. The actor recently completed a workshop that was organised as part of the fellowship. She adds, “One of those two new scripts is a comedy, about two Delhi girls and a trip that’s gone out of control.”

Swara is expected to begin pitching the script to Bollywood film-makers after the fellowship ends in July. “It is a raw and fiery love story, so Swara wants a sensitive director to make the film, but also an unabashed one,” reveals an insider close to the actor.
