Sweta Keswani (Hindi: श्वेता केशवानी; born 23 March 1983, in Mumbai) is an Indian actress, dancer and model, who is known for her roles in Hindi TV shows, Bollywood films and TV commercials. She received fame from Indians globally after playing the role of Gudiya Thakkar in the Star Plus hit series Baa Bahoo Aur Baby.

Personal life

Keswani started acting in class two with a of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. She attended MMK College in Mumbai and graduated with a degree in commerce. While she was at school, she started Kathak and kept up with it for about 6 years at Sangit Mahabharati institute and later with Guruji Shri Surinder Kaur, whom she idolizes. Later she trained in Jazz dance from Hiamak Davar's.

After doing many TV commercials for industries such as Wall's Ice Cream, Pond's and Fanta, Keswani got on the verge of television with shows such as Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii and Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand. Her performances, especially in Baa Bahoo Aur Baby, gained her critical acclaim. Sweta attributes much of her success to her ability to underplay emotions and turn away from the reliance many female Indian actors have on over-the-top antics, makeup and dress- relying instead on subtle and natural gestures, acting in its truest sense.

Keswani married American actor Alexx O'Nell in 2008, however the pair divorced in 2011. In October 2012, she married Ken Andino, whom she met in New York[1] . In August 2013, it was confirmed that Andino and Keswani were experiencing their first child in October 2013.[2]
