I don’t like Cezanne: Shweta Tiwari

Actor Shweta Tiwari continues talking about her co-actor in ‘Kasautii...’ and shares her excitement on being part of ‘Nach Baliye’.

“If you are famous, you are bound to be surrounded by controversies,” says actor Shweta Tiwari who has made more news for her off-screen disagreements than her on-screen ones. Having become a household name for the last six years with ‘Kasautii Zindagi Kay’ (Star Plus), Shweta has proved herself as an actor. She says, “I am glad I have been accepted as Prerna along with Tulsi (Smriti Z Iraani) and Parvati (Saakshi Tanwar). Hard work pays off. Sometimes I have worked continuously for 36 to 40 hours at a stretch. It is stressful.”

Reacting to reports that there is regular unrest on the sets because of her temperament she says, “If I don’t like someone I cannot be nice to him. I share a very cordial relationship with Ronit (Roy). We greet each other and start shooting. We are both professionals. I don’t get along with Cezanne (Khan). I do not like him.” The actor claims that she prefers to keep to herself while shooting and shares a great rapport with the rest of the cast. “Just because you don’t attend parties and hug and kiss on the sets you cannot be labelled as rude,” she says.

So where does she see herself after ‘Kasautii…’? “The show has been going on for six years and there have been ups and downs just like you have in real life. But with the generation leap, there will be a lot more interesting things to look forward to.” And how comfortable is she playing as an older woman? “It’s a great challenge to act like a mother to people who are older to you. But I enjoy doing it,” she continues.

Talking about her play, ‘Sharaarat’ she says, “I play myself — that’s Shweta- naughty and bubbly. But I do not get much time to devote to it because I am busy with my daily shoots.” Visibly excited about the upcoming reality show ‘Nach Baliye 2’ (Star Plus), which she and actor husband Raja Chaudhary are participating in, Shweta says, “I am looking forward to doing this show because I love dancing. I will get to be what I am. I will also get to spend a lot of time with my husband,” she signs off.
