Career

Reflecting on her early days, she stated, "Hailing from a place like Bilaspur that is nowhere even distantly associated to glitz and glamour, acting did seem a bit far-fetched".[3] Before starting her career as an actress, Swati trained at the Kishore Namit Kapoor Acting Institute in Mumbai.[3] She made her acting debut in serial Ek din ki vardi (Sahara). Later, she appeared in Suraag (SAB TV) and Aryaman (Doordarshan network).[3]
