Keswani started acting in class two with an adaption of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. She attended MMK College in Mumbai and graduated with a degree in commerce.

Later she trained in jazz dance from Shiamak Davar's.
Keswani is a Soka Gakkai Buddhist and is a leader in the SGI[clarification needed] Buddhist community. She has said, "There are many branches of Buddhism but essentially the SGI Buddhist philosophy that I practice is a religion for the 21st century. It is a process of transforming the self by chanting a mantra and through that changing not only ourselves for the better but our environment as well. Chanting gives me the clarity to see what action I should take and how I can make both myself and the people around me happier and more fulfilled."[1][2]
Since 2020, Keswani has served as the Vice President of River's Edge Theatre Co. in Westchester, NY.[3]
Keswani married American actor Alexx O'Nell in 2008. The couple divorced in 2011. In October 2012, she married NYC-based lawyer Ken Andino, with whom she has a daughter (b. 2013).[4][5]
