Swini, who was last seen in the 2016 film MS Dhoni- The Untold Story, is currently working at a law firm. Talking about taking a break from acting, Swini said, “I left acting because you know how important class ten is in India, you have to pay a lot of attention to your studies. I was a very studious child, and good in studies. Acting requires dedication, and I wanted to study further. Being a full time actor and managing studies as a child was easy, but as you move ahead, it becomes different.”

Swini said that she still gets offers, adding that she has also read a few scripts. “Now I am working in a law firm. I have moved on slightly from acting. But if I do come across interesting scripts, I will try if I can go ahead with it,” she added.
