Shweta Tiwari, who plays the lead role in Kasautii Zindagi Kay, is perhaps not happy with her new character in the serial which recently took a generation leap. It was abundantly clear when on Monday, a photo session was organized to popularize the new Parsi look of Shweta, who is now a school principal, but She came late at the studio and in the process even made Ektaa Kapoor wait for four hours. Later, when a press conference had been organized for her serial on Wednesday, Shweta was conspicuous by her absence.
As a source reveals, ' Balaji planned a photo shoot to promote the new Parsi look of Prerna at Balaji Studio, Andheri. Ektaa was there on her due time at 6 pm. Shweta was supposed to arrive before 6pm but she arrived at the venue only at 8.45pm and took another one-and-a-half hour to get ready for the shoot.'
According to sources, Ektaa is tolerating all this unprofessional behavior of Shweta Tiwari only because she do not want to open several fronts at one time as several big actors like Cezzane and Manoj Bohra have already left the serial after it took a generation leap. Another factor is Smriti- Ektaa war and the uncertain future of KyunkiâŚEktaa does not want to antagonize the lead actress of her another popular serial at this point of time and that's why she is keeping mum.
