Jaswal developed an early interest in sports, particularly tennis. Her career in broadcasting began as a runner at Sky Sports, which provided her with a foundation in production before transitioning to presenting.

She also worked on projects for MTV and Endemol, and hosted “The Entertainment Show,” “The Voice,” and “Drivetime” for Westside Radio. Jaswal made her television debut as a roving reporter for Sportsround on CBBC’s “Newsround.” She also presented CBBC’s “Match of the Day Kickabout,” where she traveled nationally to meet young football stars and set them challenges. In July 2011, she co-hosted “The Wright Stuff” on Channel 5 with Matthew Wright.

In 2015, Jaswal moved to India and became the face of Indian football for Star Sports, presenting the Indian Super League and the football show “Lets Talk Football.” She returned to the UK in 2016 to present the Premier League’s global content flagship shows, “Kick Off” and “Fanzone.” In 2017, she went back to Mumbai to host the first-ever FIFA football tournament and live draw in India for the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup on Sony Six.
