Who says success doesn't come easy. For if the budding actor Shweta Gulati is to be believed, her profession just fell in her lap .
"Things were actually very easy for me,'' she reveals. ''I'd gone for an audition with my brother and they asked me to just give it a shot. I was shocked when I got a call and they asked me how much I'd charge! I just didn't know what to say!'' Shweta says. And it has been a joyride ever since for this pretty face. ''My second ad was with ace ad-man Prahlad Kakkar himself! And then things just took off from there,'' she adds.
A popular face on television, Shweta has essayed a variety of contrasting roles. From a girl who lost her parents and was ill-treated by her aunts in Kyun Hota Hai Pyaar to her more recent stint in Remix, Shweta is clearly having a good time. ''I am quite like Teeya of Remix in real life. She's a fun girl and that's me,'' she laughs.
And what is her take on the great Indian saas-bahu sagas, which enjoy both high TRPs and viewers'love? ''I can't believe that I am saying this, but I am quite a fan myself. I've always enjoyed these series. In fact, I used to watch Jassi like crazy. And one actress watching another's serial religiously is quite something. But now I think it's just dragging,'' she says. Shweta, who's busy hopping from one set to another these days, reveals that she loves nothing more than sleeping. ''The two things I love are sleeping and painting!
Sleeping... well I did that throughout college!'' she laughs. ''Each time the blacklist came out in the college, my mother would get a complaint. My mother told them she knew exactly what I was up to — sleeping!'' she chuckles.
Shweta is doing a film called Detective Nani where she plays the teenage lead. Not bad for a girl who wasn't even thinking about a job in the industry. ''This is such a pleasant switch from my call centre job!'' she says.
