Shruti Seth

About

There are some artists who don’t merely appear on screen, they grow with you. Shruti Seth is one such presence. For an entire generation that grew up watching Shararat, she will forever be remembered as Jiya Malhotra, the warm, mischievous witch who brought humour and heart to Indian television. Yet, Shruti’s journey is far richer than a single iconic role.

A graduate of St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai, with a background in Economics and Commerce, Shruti’s life took an unexpected yet defining turn into the entertainment industry. What began as a casual modelling assignment soon led her to television hosting, where her intelligence, wit, and effortless charm made her one of Channel V’s most loved faces. She didn’t just host shows, she helped shape youth television with a voice that was bold, authentic, and refreshingly honest.

Acting followed naturally. From light-hearted sitcoms to powerful films like Fanaa, Rajneeti, and My Friend Ganesha, Shruti displayed a rare emotional honesty across genres. As a presenter and speaker, she earned trust by keeping things real, balancing the roles of entertainer and empath with ease.

After more than two decades in the luminous yet unpredictable world of entertainment, Shruti discovered that true mastery doesn’t come from fame alone, but from understanding the mind and self. Her transition into behavioural coaching emerged from lived experience, navigating pressure, uncertainty, reinvention, and deep inner work. Trained in mindfulness, arts-based therapy, and Choice Theory Reality Therapy, she now works as a behavioural coach supporting individuals in building emotional resilience, self-awareness, and meaningful lives. Off-screen, Shruti is a powerful advocate for mental health, motherhood, self-worth, and emotional balance.  As a motivational speaker, she speaks not from a podium, but from lived truth. At her core, Shruti Seth stands for authenticity, reminding audiences that real magic begins when you choose to live with intention and compassion.
