tu bhi swetha mai bhi shwetha

Tu bhi Shweta, main bhi Shweta!

Do too many Shwetas cause confusion in tellydom?

Shweta Teotia

If Shweta is your name and you don't watch too much television then there are things you have missed. Like the fact that there are just too many Shwetas working on TV today. Like the fact that all of them have been confused with the other at some point. Like the fact that Keswani hates her first name. That, like Smith in England and Chang in China, Shweta with its spelling variations is perhaps the most common name in India… at least on the small screen.And like the fact that when this reporter spoke to each one of them, she knew exactly whom she was talking to when she said, "Hi Shweta, this is Shweta!" Photograph from top>> 1. Name: Shweta Tiwari Acted in : Kasautii Zindagi Kay Currently seen in: Kasautii Zindagi Kay Some confusion or the other is bound to happen. However it happens in the form of telephone calls most of the time and more often than not i've laughed it away. 2. Name: Shweta Kawatra Acted in : Kahaani Ghar Ghar kii Currently seen in: Crime and Punishment As if confusions did not end with my first name, once there was a Shweta Kawatra behind the camera as well! At times I end up confirming dates and fees. At other times I realise that I am not the Shweta they want to talk to. In my bad moods I get offended else I direct them to the correct Shweta if possible. I have generally been confused for Tiwari and Keswani. 3. Name: Shweta Agarwal Acted in :Dekho magar Pyaar se Currently seen: Nowhere No one has ever mistaken me for any other Shweta on seeing me. But I have got a few calls asking me to come for a shoot the next day and which which I promptly directed to the correct Shweta. I think the cause of all the confusion is a mix-up of our first names. 4. Name: Shveta Salve Acted in :Kitty party Currently seen in: Sarrkkar I guess it happens to almost every Shweta. With me it is usually over telephone calls. But I have adopted a smarter approach, if the conversation heads in a direction I have no clue of, I ask the caller who they want to speak with and that saves my time. 5. Name: Svetta Keswani Acted in: Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand Currently seen in: Bollywood Aur kya Special I changed my spelling on Sanjay Jumani's suggestion but that hasn't reduced the confusion. At times I've given interviews not realising that it wasn't for me. I hate my name. Imagine there were 18 Shwetas in my school! And yes, I still get calls for Swetha Menon.
