She participated with her husband [[Sharad Kelkar]] in the second season of dance reality show ''[[Nach Baliye#Season 2|Nach Baliye 2]]''. In 2011, she took a Break from television. In 2017, she entered the Popular series ''[[Sasural Simar Ka]]'' as Simar, replacing the former Protagonist [[Dipika Kakar]] who was previously playing Simar.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.siasat.com/news/keerti-gaekwad-kelkar-replaces-dipika-kakar-sasural-simar-ka-1139344/|title=Keerti Gaekwad Kelkar replaces Dipika Kakar in 'Sasural Simar Ka' {{!}} The Siasat Daily|website=www.siasat.com|date=25 February 2017|language=en-US|access-date=2017-07-18}}</ref> About her Comeback to screen after six years, she added "I wanted to return to television with a good project.
