Swetta Keswani added an extra 't' to her name some time ago, but she is now planning to revert to her original spelling. "It hasn't really helped," she says.
But her phirang boyfriend Alexx Oneill will continue to maintain the extra 'x' in his name. Did Swetta introduce Alexx to numerology? "Yes, in a way. He'd come along with me during my meeting with the numerologist and and he decided to do it as well," she says.
Swetta met Alexx two-and-half years ago and they've been going strong since then. So are there going to be wedding bells soon? "We plan to get engaged in February when his mom comes to India. We'll tie the knot some time later."
So, do they plan to shift abroad after that? "We haven't really planned anything. But, I think we'd like to stay here and pursue our careers. Alexx is into outsourcing. He's also modelling for ads and has also done a role in the movie Cheeni Kum. There's a good demand for foreigners in movies," she says, adding that he's trying to learn Hindi right now. "If he sees anything written on a board he attempts to to read it... even on autorickshaws," she laughs.
On the career front, Swetta's busy with an upcoming show Arranged Marriages. "Actually because of my dates for Arranged Marriages, I lost out on Left Right Left and Twinkle Beauty Parlour."
And films are very much on her mind too. "Let's see what works out," she says. About the famed casting couch, Swetta says, "Well, I haven't encountered it. I'm not meeting the casting couch type of directors I guess!"
