Swetha Ashok is an Indian playback singer, who is well known for her work in the
Malayalam film industry. She rose to fame as a child when she won the reality

of Zee Entertainment Enterprises. During the course of the show, Swetha launched
her playback singing career by singing songs for prominent films like
Mammooty's Shylock, Happy Sardar, and Dhamaka by music director Gopi Sundar.

Biography[edit]
Swetha was born in Vadakara, Calicut. She currently lives with her parents and

Vishnu Ashok is an aspiring violinist and a music director.[1] Swetha's sister Aswathi

Career[edit]
Swetha is a trained classical singer and a B high grade artiste in All India Radio. She

On 26 August 2020, Swetha released her first original song, called

"Chingaponpulari".[3] The song is an Onam special featuring Swetha as the artiste.
The music was done by her brother Vishnu Ashok and the lyrics have been penned
by her sister Aswathi Ashok.[4] The song immediately trended after the release with
multiple media platforms covering it and lauding the family for their joint venture.
Produced under their family's banner, the song has been jointly produced by KP
