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. I am very very proud of Palak, especially because she is so understanding and responsible. When considering my divorce, I was in two minds whether to go ahead/not, because I didn't want it affecting my daughter. She was only 6 years old at the time! She cried the day I broke the news to her. Like any other child, she wondered how she would face her friends in school who would be dropped-picked by both their parents. She worried at the thought of losing her father, as she loved him a lot. But she was so understood at that young age, that not once did she tell me to go back to Raja. She had seen the fights and arguments we would get into and maybe that is what made her want to prioritize her mother's needs over hers. Palak often fell ill during my marriage but after the separation, she has been healthy mentally and physically, both.
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
