In the interview, Bhavana said that it was her decision not to act in Malayalam cinema for five years despite getting film offers from friends and well-wishers.

“After the incident, many offered me work and insisted I come back to work. Aashiq Abu, Prithviraj, Jayasurya and others offered me work but I turned down the work because I couldn’t come back to this industry and worked as if nothing happened. I was not in the right set of mind. I worked in other language films. Now, I have also started listening to Malayalam scripts,” she had said.
