Shweta Tiwari
Shweta Tiwari (Prerna of Kasautii Zindagii Kay) shot for a new show Dhamaal Express (made under the banner Eternal Dreams) for 9X new show on Wednesday, but not before infuriating top TV actors - Sakshi Tanwar, Mona Singh, Urvashi Dholakia, Tasneem Sheikh and Shabbir Ahluwalia.
Says an insider, “Shweta was supposed to report on the sets (Mehboob Studio) at 8 am, when she did not report until 10 am the actors started getting restless and enquiring if she was coming at all. Producer Boney Jain kept reassuring them that she would arrive very soon. However, that did not happen. By the time she arrived, almost everybody on the set was furious.”
Finally Shweta walked in 5 hours late and did not even apologise. “She did not even say why she was late,” says one of the actors. Apparently, Shweta has three prjects at hand and she seems to have taken more than she can chew. She is shooting for Kasautii…, Jjhoom India and now Dhamaal Express.
The actor who complains, endorses, “Why has she taken up so many assignments? Why were we asked to cool heels and wait for her for six hours? Even after she arrived, she kept doing a lot of gimmicks and wasted more time. This is just not done.”
When contacted, producer Boney wanted to know who told us about the fiasco. Initially, he laughed but perhaps wanting to kill the story, he said, “Every actor was given a different call time.”
Tiwari remained unavailable for comment. We sent her messages, but she did not bother to revert.
personally i think she is piling on so much work just 2 escape her personal traumas but really she should not over stress herself
