Ekta Kapoor informed Sawant that she was keen to cast her in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi (Star Plus) and Kammal (Zee TV). She accepted both offers. Sawant also played the role of Rohit Sharma's wife in Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand. She played the role of Preeti in Pyaar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha Pyaara Pyaara. She played the role of Meera, Riya Mehra's governess in Kumkum Bhagya. Since 2022, she has been portraying Barkha Kapadia opposite Rohit Bakshi in Anupamaa.
