Shweta Tiwari News

SHE is by far the prettiest and the most popular face across channels at the 8:30 pm slot on the boob tube. Her fire and ice act as Prerna Sharma in one of Star Plus’ major money-spinner Kasautii Zindagii Kay, has earned her an impressive fan following.
For actress Shweta Tiwari though, there is much more than being just Prerna.
“No doubt Prerna is my biggest break and dream role but I want people to know me as Shweta Tiwari,” she told mediapersons at the launch of the new academic session of NIFD, Sector 8, on Monday.
On her first visit to the city, the Mumbai-based lady who originally hails from Allahabad spoke about her beginnings in acting.
“Initially I wanted to be a dancer and dreamt that people would take my name with as much respect and awe as they do with Helen but destiny had other plans. I got noticed at a dance competition and was offered a role in the play Khoobsoorat Bahu after which there was no looking back,” she says.
Theater in fact is something that the lady recommends strongly, “It’s the best training ground. The rehearsals allow you the chance to polish your acting and voice.”
On her association with Balaji Telefilms, Shweta avers, “Ekta saw me in a serial Aane Waala Pal and offered me a negative role in Karam. Then I got Kaleerein and Kaahin Kissii Roz after which she offered me Kasautii…”
Drawing analogies with her famous on-screen role, she says, “Just like Prerna, I am also naughty and love to laugh. Another thing which is common is that like her I too tell lies sometimes!”
As far as the Prerna, the character is concerned, “I like her strength and as for disliking I feel she becomes too sweet sometimes.”
Shweta who terms her eyes, as her asset knows her priorities well.
“I haven’t thought about films but if I get a Mother India or a Mrityudand then I will love to do it. Also, at this point of time I don’t want to leave television especially Prerna, whom I love too much.”
Item numbers apparently don’t find favour with her so she “will never do a film only for the sake of a song. Performance matters, otherwise it’ll be the same as Sonali Bendre and Mamta Kulkarni.”
Shweta who recently made heads turn with her skimpily clad appearance in Daler Mehndi’s latest video has two serials in pipeline.
“There’s Shrey Guleri’s Hum which has me in a double role and there’s another Balaji serial about which I cannot talk.” Here’s more to Shweta!
