She is prominently known for playing the ''[[Leading actor|leading character]]'' of Simar Prem Bharadwaj in television series ''[[Sasural Simar Ka]]''. She began her career in 2002 with her first television debut in ''[[Kammal]]''. In 2004, she did a TV series called ''Aakrosh'', where she met the love of her life ''[[Sharad Kelkar]]'' who is a famous Bollywood and Indian Television Celebrity and Ex-Physical Trainer. She did a quite a number of TV shows and in some of them, she was cast opposite to her husband.

==Career==
She debuted as Kammal in ''[[Kammal]]'' and went on to play "Kanan" in ''[[Kahiin To Hoga]]'' and "Niharika" in ''[[Sinndoor Tere Naam Ka]]'' on [[Zee TV]]. 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. Over the years, family took precedence and I was happy with that. But then, [[Colors TV]] approached me for Simar’s role in ''[[Sasural Simar Ka]]'', and I was sold. I am nervous and excited at the same time to face the camera after so long. She continues "Television has changed so much over the past few years, there are many new concepts and formats. Even the viewers are open to Storylines and narratives that were unfathomable earlier." About Replacing [[Dipika Kakar]] and her entry in the show, she said "Though the character of Simar is already established, the challenge lies in adding some freshness to it. I wouldn't have taken it up if it wasn't so challenging. I’ve seen Dipika in ''[[Sasural Simar Ka]]'', and she’s been fabulous. The show will bring its focus back on the Mother-daughter relationship and I believe that I will portray the role perfectly since I am also a mother." The show ended in March 2018.

==Personal life==
Keerti married her co-star from ''[[Sinndoor Tere Naam Ka]]'' and ''[[Saat Phere: Saloni Ka Safar]]'', [[Sharad Kelkar]] on 3 June 2005.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Chaubey|first=Pranita|date=3 June 2021|title=On 16th Wedding Anniversary, Sharad Kelkar Posts Throwback With Wife Keerti|url=https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/on-16th-wedding-anniversary-sharad-kelkar-posts-throwback-with-wife-keerti-2455411|url-status=live|access-date=4 June 2021|website=NDTV}}</ref>
