When I was reading a book I came to know a word 'Whilst', when i look up its meaning at dictionary it was the synonym of 'while'. Can we just replace this word with 'while' or we need to look at the sentence before using it? Answers with example would be very much easy for me to understand. Thanks!

It is merely an older form of 'while' , rishika. I would avoid it unless you are writing insipid poetry.
