Kyunki TV stars are superstitious

October 4, 2006

It is said that television stars are a superstitious lot. We decided to put the theory to test. Here's what some top small-screen celebs had to say: Shweta Kawatra

It is normal to be superstitious. Most people are. However, celebrities are always under the spotlight, which is why this side of them is revealed to the public. Everyone knows about their beliefs. My husband and I are not superstitious. My mother may tell me something now and then, but she doesn't force me to follow anything. I used to wear a 'Pokraj' ring ten years ago, but it didn't do anything to my fortune, so I took it off. It looked pretty on my fingers, so I wore it. After some time, I took it off. I am not rigid about these things. I have become less superstitious over the years. That has something to do with the fact that my belief in myself has increased. You get wiser with age. I cut my nails at night because that is the only time I get to cut them. My mum asks why I do it, but I tell her it's okay. I don't get bogged down by superstition.
