Swathi is one heroine who has created an identity of her own not just in Tollywood but also in Tamil Nadu.

Having originally shot to fame with her famous television programme ‘Colors’, she soon made her foray onto the big screen.

Over the years the number of films she has done have been limited but well in keeping with her image of a native Telugu heroine.

Although she does appear in glamor roles, she does not expose and naturally, the offers she gets have been along those lines. Hence, she got more roles in Tamil industry where more films are made with scope for performance rather than skin show.

Recently, the posters of Swathi’s upcoming film ‘Tripura’ were released in which she was seen in traditional ‘Langa-Voni’ attire.

What was remarkable about her appearance was that she seemed to have put on weight and her face also looked more mature than in her earlier films.

Is it the result of make-up or has she gained weight? Either way, Swathi would do well to go on a correctional course at least for the sake of her loyal fan base.
