On-screen/Off-screen: Shewta Tiwari-Choud

On-Screen: Prerna Bajaj
Prerna Bajaj is the main protagonist of Kasautii Zindagi Kay. Earlier, she was married to her boyfriend Anurag Basu but thanks to the twist and turns, she becomes Mrs. Prerna Bajaj. The story revolves around Prerna and takes Kasauti of her every time. But she is like Tulsi and stands by the truth and fights for it. She has sent her own son-in-law-Sharad (Karan Singh) to jail because he raped her driver's daughter Mukti (Tina Parekh). She is the ideal woman of Kasauti or as her son Prem calls her "Mother India."

Off-Screen: Raja Chaudhary speaks on Shewta Tiwari
"She is altogether different. Prerna is more mature whereas Shewta is very childish. Earlier, I was amazed with the role of Prerna and I asked her whether she will be able to do this role properly or not. But I was wrong, she is a great actress. Her off-screen image of a mother is similar to that of Prerna as she is very close to our daughter– Palak. She can't live without her. For her Palak is her life line."

Does he watch Kasauti?
"Yes sometimes me and my daughter see the serial and in certain scenes, I even criticised her performance. But she convinced me that it was the requirement of the character and, in the end, she wont the argument.

What about your Bhojpuri film?
"Of course she is acting in it. The movie is called Hamar Saiyan Hindustani , which is ready for release next month. Her character name is Radha and it is completely different to Shewta. In real life, she is more practical and professional.
