In Conversation with Shweta Tiwari

First thing first , tell us the secret behind your perfect figure?

Nothing much. I do not work out. But I don keep a check on what I eat.  The thing is that,  this is what I have got in my genes. Everyone in my familyis thin.


Recently you were seen working with Manish and Bharti in Jubile  comedy circus. How was the experience working with them?

Oh! That was awesome. I had never done a comedy show ever before and hence trying something new was very exciting. Bharti is an institution herself when it comes to comedy so it was great working with her. Manish is like master of comedy, he  can dance, can sing and he takes the comedy to another level.  I am a part of the upcoming comedy circus’s show too.


How does it feel to be a first female contestant to win the Bigg Boss show?

Well, its a great feeling, I have done many reality shows before but Bigg Boss was altogether a different experience, staying apart from your family for so long and then staying with people whom you dont know, some you  have not met ever was something challenging. I had never imagined that I would win, there were other potential contestants as well, but at the end when I was declared a winner, it was hard to believe.

The prize money was a big one, how much importance does it hold for you?

Its like one has been lucky with  a lottery  number, it hold a lot of importance to me.  The win was not an easy one and so it is very very important to me.

Has this win made an effect on your life?

Socially yes, previously people knew me as Prerna , now the actual me is known by everybody.

You have done many plays as well , any specific reason working in a play?

Nothing special except that I am very much attached to the stage, I take the play as a challenge because there is no retake in it.

Is there any oncoming play of yours?

Ya! my oncoming play is “Aaine ke 100 tukde”   .

Tell us more about the play?

I am the sole actor in the play, my co actors are the lights, I mean everything has been well defined with the lights like, for happiness its red and pink light, for love its snow and fog all around . It has been shown beautifully. One can relate himself with the play.The play  is 2 hours long. In India four shows have already been successfully done.I was quiet hesitant about doing it at first, I thought it was not my cup of tea. But when at my very first show when people gave me a standing ovation then I felt I did it. We have a plan to take it abroad as well.

Daily soaps are pretty different from the reality shows ,  does it affect your  image as a daily soap actress  when  you do a reality show?

Well I don think so, because  now people know me who I am , I too am a human being with lots of positives and some negatives as well. Now a common man can relate and understand a common man in me too.

You have been an important asset in Bhojpuri films, it is said if one works in Bhojpuri films he loses the chance for the Bollywood, what do you say?

Loser speak of failure, when you fail you tend to pass on the fault on to something. I feel Bhojpuri films give you  strong platform. There are many who have kissed the success in both the fields.

Your film Beni aur Babloo was a successful one.

Yes it was liked by the audience despite of  my role being a short one, I enjoyed working in the film.

Whats your oncoming film?

“Bin Bulaye barati’ is my next film with Aftab.

Shweta Tiwari- a producer, tell us something about it.

My husband ( Now divorced) wanted to do something in this area. This company was opened for him only. Soon it turned into a successfully running company and was acclaimed by people as well and hence we turned into production too.

It is seen that the big actors these days are looking forward to work on television, but TV actors look for a chance in Bollywood. what do u say?

Well! The Grass is always greener on the other side. So that’s a human nature , you always long for what you don have .

Whats your daughter’s future plans?

As of now she is a little fickle minded, does not stay on one thing for long. But yes , one thing which has maintained her interest since long is colors, she loves colors.

Being a woman what do u feel, woman needs a man to rise high in life?

Its never a man behind a successful woman , its always a woman behind a successful man as they say. So I think woman is complete in herself, she does not need a man to  rise high. But yes this also is as true  that one needs a life partner to share the sentiments.

Any message for the readers?

I would say, keep loving me the way you always do.I learn from you and I am just like you.
