Swati Beniwal, in contrast to her spouse avoids the spotlight. She grew up in a tiny Haryana town and hails from a loving family. Swati holds a postgraduate degree. While Swati was born on 28 July, her DOB isn’t known but she is aged between 25-30 years while her husband Pardeep who has a net worth of Rs.10 crore is aged 28.
Despite their divergent backgrounds in academics and athletics, Swati and Pardeep were able to find common ground in their appreciation of discipline, hard effort, and family values.

It has been inspiring to watch Pardeep’s progress from a small Haryana town to the largest kabaddi arenas in the nation. His popularity opened the door for many would-be raiders by making kabaddi hip, trendy, and youth-oriented.
Narwal has made references to continuing his involvement in the sport once he quits from professional play, either through coaching, mentoring, or even broadcast commentary.
