Shweta Nanda has largely chosen to stay out of the limelight, with the only exception being walking the ramp for Sandeep Khosla and Abu Jani years ago. However 2018 seems to be ushering in a more public turn for her, with her debut novel Paradise Towers (a slice-of-life novel set in an apartment building in Mumbai) being announced by Harper Collins recently, and now her appearance in an ad film with her father.
