Shweta Tiwari’s a shade darker

Shweta Tiwari will now be seen plotting, conspiring and making faces at the camera as she returns to play the character of a villain in the soap Naaginn on Zee TV.

She did a cameo in Naaginn last year, which boosted the TRPs. However, due to problems with the dates, Shweta was unable to continue to be on the serial. Now, the producers have brought her back to the show again. She will be seen plotting the murder of the heroine Amrita (Sayantani Ghosh).

"I am quite excited because this is a negative role. I have always been associated with positive roles in family dramas and this role is a welcome change for me," she says.

But the show is not one of the most popular ones.

"It's not always about TRPs. The role matters. And when I am enjoying doing the role, it hardly makes any difference. We all are hoping that the show's TRPs will rise again.”

So, what if this negative role in Naaginn backfires?

“Initially when I did the cameo, I was acting in Kasautii Zindagi Kay as well. I do think people can decipher the difference between what is reel and what is real. I am currently doing a positive role in Jaane Kya Baat Hui and I am confident that people will appreciate my effort,” she adds.

After Kasautii… went off air, she hasn't done any Balaji show. Is there any show in the pipeline?

“Kasautii has made me whatever I am and I am really thankful to them. I have worked with them for a long time, but there's nothing new as of now. If I am doing something with them, I will definitely let the world know,” she ends.
