Early life

[edit]

Swati hails from Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh but her birthplace is Mumbai. Her parents are doctors, and worked in KEM hospital, Mumbai, in the 1970s. Later, they shifted to Bilaspur and Verma went to Russia. She earned her diploma in Russian and studied interior design there.[3] She is a Kathak dancer. She is a devout Hindu.[3]

Career

[edit]

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]
