remix rage- ashi n tia

How does the daughter of educationists become an actor? "I'll put it very frankly. I was a national level tennis player. I wanted to be the next Steffi Graff but I woke up from the dream and realised that it'll never happen... unless you're playing cricket. I was spending more than I was earning. I realised that I wanna make my money. Then modeling happened and I grabbed the opportunity. It's something you get addicted to. You start enjoying your work, the easy money and all the attention," she says.

She's Shweta Gulati, the soft-spoken Barbie Dollish, Tia of Remix. Tia is pretty, stylish and loves to dress well. Her clothes are frilly, girly and the colour pink features the most in her wardrobe. She likes to dress up like a princess. About her look she says," Tania Behl is totally responsible for it and I think it's brilliant coz I am getting a lot of compliments for it."

Is she like Tia in real life too? After thinking a bit she answers, "Shweta wasn't soft spoken but she's become soft spoken. Tia and Shweta are very, very, very different from each other. But Tia has brought a lot of changes in Shweta. Shweta is now become more self-conscious. She'll think twice before wearing anything. Even when I am at home I'll check my face for p***les."

Shweta is a Commerce graduate from Mulund College, Mumbai. She was into the corporate world for about 3 years. One day she accompanied her cousin to an audition but got chosen herself. She says, "Acting has become my life and I can't think beyond that anymore and I don't think I'll get back to the corporate world ever." She believes that all you need is confidence and will power and you can get what you want. So any special person in your life? "No, I am happy being single," she says laughing.
