Glamour girl, Shweta!

Shweta Gulati

If the forthcoming Amber Dhara promises to be a first-of-its-kind serial based on a story of conjoined sisters, then Shweta Gulati's character, Sonya Jaiswal in the show is also one of its kind, according to the actor.

"I play this rich spoiled brat with loads of oomph and ego. But unlike the other vamps you see on television who like to make other peoples lives miserable without any rhyme or reason, I exhibit very normal emotions….that is plain envy and jealously when the twins Amber And Dhara beat me in studies and music in college. It is something we have all experienced in our lives, and that includes me. Sonya is a very normal person with grey shades, something rare on TV, where either you are painted as black or white," effuses the very petite looking actor.😳

A pretty😳 and popula👏r face on television😳, Shweta best known as Juhi of Shagun, Tara of Lipstick, Tia of Remix and Priyanka of Durgesh Nandani, Shweta is a perfect example of having entered the glamour industry by chance.
Working in a call centre with no dreams of seeing herself on screen, Shweta strayed into modelling when she was offered an ICICI ad campaign.

"Despite loud protests from my dad, I told him that I would do just one ad and no more. But doing one ad just turned out to be the beginning! One led to another, and soon I landed up doing almost a dozen," she smiles mischievously.
The same protest came from her father when she was offered Shagun, her first television serial, and once again she silenced him saying that only one and no more. But of course it did not end there! "The response to Juhi (my character) and the recognition I got was so overwhelming that he could not help, but gave in! So here I am doing serials since the last four years."

But the next step is not films, Shweta declares loudly even before I can ask her the question……for as she says. "Television has given me a lot, and I don't want to exchange it for the struggle, and the small parts I may get in films. I like facing the camera, and whether it is for the big screen or small, it does not matter to me. And now with Amber Dhara, things are really looking up," she says with a grin. An independent young girl, Shweta stays on her own despite her parents also living in Mumbai.

An avid reader of fiction, she loves to paint, if not catching up with friends over butter chicken and chicken coriander soup! "I make it a point to work only 15 days a month so that I have enough time to do my own thing. I also love cuddling up and sleeping for long hours, pampering myself by buying a whole lot of clothes …… or simply playing with my pet dogs Feebie and Messy," she says happily.

Television has given me a lot, and I don't want to exchange it for the struggle, and the small parts I may get in films. I like facing the camera, and whether it is for the big screen or small, it does not matter to me. And now with Amber Dhara, things are really looking up

wow she got a new dog 😃 ...messy is a nice name too...not as good as phoebe though 😉 ..thank god she didn't keep the dog's name rachel after phoebe...another friend's character's name...it would have been very embarrassing for me 😆

lolz..the whole part abt how she patoed her dad is so funny 😆 ..looks like tia even shweta manages to get her way with her papa quite easily 😆 ..

i did't know she started her career with an ICICI ad..was the ad seen on TV her first ad then?😲...wat a shift in career from corporate world to a glamour one!! 😉 ...apparently she was a TL in Aptech computers..not a bad designation at all

thanx aparna for posting this interview of shweta here...this has to be one of the best..considering it mentions all the roles she has ever donned in her career 😃 ...goes out to prove how popular all of them were 😉 ...

i think even her role as tanya in PKDN, Mariam in Man mein hain.. and mostly Moulli in Aek Chabhi was one of the best..i mean the latter one was a cameo but she had 3 episodes solely dedicated to her story track 👏 ...all the episodes were so hilarious and the retro dance she did in one of the episode was just fab 😆

she's been around for so long now..and has given memorable roles..will always apprecaite her for the fact that she actually turned down KYPH for Remix 😳 ...seriously admire that she values her talent and also her fans enough so as not to compromise in any way by taking the easier path and joining the kekta "popular but non-actors" brigade 🤢 ..

sonia of AD is already very popular and well-loved..i mean hated for her bitchiness 😆..i am sure she will be nominated for this one as she was nominated for Tia thrice and for Tara in KHHP...she def deserves to win this time around 😃

thanfully her track in KHHP and shagun is about to begin on star utsav..when it does it would be like seeing Shweta practically the whole day every day..couldn't ask for a better diwali gift 🥳

i didn't notice that... ya the production houses do repeat shweta in their next ventures..Shobhana Desai of Durgesh Nandini even said in her interview..that she's the one who found shweta and gave shweta her first break in Shagun😃..i guess we owe Ms. Desai one🤗

infact shweta had a good but a supporting role of khushi in SA's show Lipstick but then they cast her in a lead role in Remix😳

aparna...even in Jigar Ma badi Aag hain...shweta is again working with the same production house..this show is produced by Neena Gupta...and her Kyun Hota Hain Pyar show was also produced by her😃

PS: prachi..nice to see u back at RF🤗
