Vaswani’s parents are divorced, and she opened up to Brown Girl Magazine about the divorce, stating that her father and mother were among the first couples within the Indian community to get a divorce.
Because of the stigma attached to it in the Indian community, Vaswani says the split took a large toll on her growing up. One of her major motivations behind doing the show was to share her story so that it could be of help to anyone going through similar experiences.
Vaswani is extremely close to her father, Raj Vaswani, and he has been incredibly supportive of her. Not only has he pushed her to pursue a career in artistic fields, he was also the one who urged her to accept Bravo’s offer in making Family Karma.
My dad more recently has encouraged me to follow my creative passions professionally, which is the complete opposite of what most Indian parents advise when it comes to a career. At one point and time, he wanted me to become a doctor… he saw it wasn’t what I wanted and told me to switch gears immediately.
