In an interview with a YouTube channel, Mazhavil Keralam, Archana Kavi spoke about her divorce from Abish Mathew and said:

"We were childhood friends. But marriage is different. You truly understand a person when you live together under one roof. Neither he nor I are bad people. We could have remained friends, but taking the next step was not right. The reason for our separation is personal, and I’m not someone who likes to discuss such matters publicly. Life together just didn’t work out for some reason. I’m proud to say that I had a good marriage and a good divorce. We never resorted to accusations or insults. He moved on, and so did I. Why create unnecessary problems in life?"

“I was diagnosed with Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) which is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome. Hormonal imbalance that happens during the menstrual cycles is responsible for extreme and uncontrollable mood swings. I would suffer up to 15 days a month. I didn’t understand what was happening to me. For some days, I would be happy and cheerful and would suddenly suffer bouts of depression and anger. Sometimes, I felt like committing suicide.”
