Behave, or else…: Shweta Tiwari
Shweta Tiwari had a tough time in Bihar while shooting for her Bhojpuri film Kab Aai Angana Hamar recently.
The actress was not only mobbed but also had to deal with hordes of people who’d turn up on the set during the shoot; that’s when Bhojpuri star and co-actor Manoj Tiwari came to her rescue.

Shweta says, “He was really sweet and protective.

Throughout the shoot he made sure that I wasn’t bothered or troubled.

In fact, whenever fans would come chanting and screaming his name, he’d tell them not to scare me or I’d never come back to Bihar!”

Singing sensation

The actress calls Manoj a huge superstar. “He’s even bigger than Ravi Kissen here. Apart from acting, he also sings bhajans and has released a couple of albums that are a huge hit with the audience.

In fact, a lot of old women and children in Bihar don’t watch his films as much as they listen to his songs. During the shoot, we constantly had ladies who would come to the set and start singing his bhajans,” says Shweta, amused.

Even though this is Shweta’s third Bhojpuri film, she’s quite excited about its release.

“The film will release this month. In fact, I still have to figure out the perfect way to speak Bhojpuri. It’s quite interesting, but I prefer speaking in Hindi.”
During her stay in Sitamani, a village in Bihar, Shweta was petrified when sporadic religious conflicts erupted nearby. “The next day, we had a huge police force on the set to protect us from mischief-makers.

I thought maybe Manoj called them for his protection. Then I realised that they had come to make sure our shoot went off smoothly.”
