| A Look into Shweta life Coming from a regular, middle-class family, nothing was ever smooth or easy for me. I was brought up to believe in working hard to chase my dreams and reaching my goals with utmost motivation. Only if the journey to reach where I am today had been a cakewalk but, on the contrary, the journey had its ups and downs where some times I was on top, at the crest of the wave, and at other times, I was trying to keep afloat. As a very naughty and mischievous girl, I used to have a calendar that would be marked with pages of punishment notes! Never interested in textbooks, I was always more passionate about extra curricular activities. The stage was my best friend! I used to love dancing, delivering speeches, performing, acting etc as these activities would liven me up and bring out the best in me. Early on in school days itself I found myself inclined towards the stage and after seeing me perform, my peers and seniors would often suggest me for parts in plays and dramas. Ever since then, this inclination has only strengthened! In college as well, I was not seriously academically inclined. I would bunk often I guess you can say that I was never an A-star student and was quite satisfied in getting passing marks. With my passion for the stage and arts, making a career out of acting was quite obvious though I had not planned to become an actress. I won't say 'it just happened' but yes, I did do the needful to get there. In my college days, I actively participated in dramas and plays. In fact it was around that time when a director who had come to watch one of my dramas approached me. Arun Katle sent me to try out for 'Khubsoorat Bahu' and I went for it . Then I tried theatre and soon after I did 'Rishtey' with Hussain. At that time, a young girl was needed for a role in 'Aane Wala Pal' and so I decided to go for the audition and luckily was selected for the role. Ekta Kapoor saw the promos of this show and she decided to offer some of her serials to me, starting with Kal Hi Re. Then one day, she called me into her office and pretended to be furious and started pointing out all the times I had reached late on the sets! I fell for her prank and began defending myself, profusely apologizing, only to be told that I had bagged the role of Prerna in her forthcoming soap, 'Kasauti..Zindagi Kay' I was relieved and excited at the opportunity. And life was about to take a major turn for the better ofcourse I have been lucky ever since! I like to say that a middle class girl met a fairy God Mother who turned her life into a dream...that is exactly what happened with me! Before entering the television industry, my relatives, neighbors and those around me would hardly notice me.. But once Fate welcomed me with open arms, so did society! Entering this industry was like stepping into a new world, which I did not know, existed. It felt alien-like but I became a part of it soon! In the midst of progressing from stage acting to television, I fell in love. I was only 19-20 years old when I met Raja and we started liking each other. He told me he wished to marry me and I shyly reciprocated my wish too. So he got his parents to meet mine, but because Raja was unemployed at that point, my family refused. Like a girl madly in love, I went against them and got married to him. But soon after 2 years of marriage, differences started surfacing and cracks developed in our marriage. The fighter that I am, I tried to keep the relationship intact but after 7-8 years, it felt pointless and a waste so we ended it and parted ways. It was ugly and very public unfortunately, but now I'm in a much happier, independent and relaxed place, with my daughter-Palak. Initially I would wonder how the world would react to my divorce. I was extremely nervous! I had anyway gone against my parents, and now my marriage was breaking, so I was all the more under pressure. But after I was legally divorced, to my surprise, I had everyone by my side as my support. They all were there for me. Not to sympathize with me, but to tell me that what I did was right and that I should have done it long ago. Of them all, my daughter was the most special to me. She is my strength and my weakness. I am much happier single. I don't need a partner to rely on/be with me. My daughter is everything for me and I am very happy with her |
| As a judge | I found that reality shows are easy. But I like being a contestant more because it is difficult to impress all the judges on a reality show and and I love challenges." |
| Reality shows | "I love doing reality shows as I don't have to pretend there. I jump, dance, scream and rejoice on those shows just the way I am in real life." |
| Schedule | "I don't like to do two or three shows at a time because I don't want a tiring schedule and sleepless nights. I would rather do roles like Prerna or Aradhana, which would be remembered for a long time |
| Single Parent | "I believe I was always a single parent. After I separated from my husband, I never felt that I had to do something extra for my daughter Palak. When I was with him, even then I was working and could devote time to her, so there's not much change." |
| Find Strange | "What I find strange is that people know me more by my screen name than my real name." |
| Extra marital affairs | "Extra marital affairs are about lust." |
| Success mantra | "Always believe in yourself. Strive hard and luck can't run away from you." |
