Her upcoming project includes Singham Again.
Shweta Tiwari recalled shooting a ‘gross’ scene all night in a lake for her popular show.
Shweta Tiwari became a household name after she starred in Kasautii Zindagi Kay. The actress recently recalled filming a scene during the beginning of the show which turned out to be quite gross. She recalled staying in a lake all night, which was filled with kids’ excreta and also had a snake crawling about.
Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, she said, “It was really gross. Cezanne Khan and I were shooting for a sequence in one of the early episodes, where my character falls into a river, and Cezanne’s character jumps in to save me. The story required our characters to stay in the water the whole night and only come out in the morning when someone else comes to help us. We were shooting this in Film City Lake and stayed in the water all night. In the morning, we realised that kids had been sitting on the edge of the lake and pooping there. I was like, ‘Oh shit, we were in this water the whole night!’ I also saw a snake crawling there, and realised it was in the water with us at night.”
The show remains one of the most popular serials on Indian television. During the promotion of the show’s sequel, Ektaa Kapoor recalled how she came about to cast Shweta. She said, “I had seen Shweta in a show on Doordarshan. She was not even the lead and was standing far behind in one of the scenes. But something just struck, and I asked my team to reach out to the girl. As for Cezanne, he was already doing a show for us, and I felt the two suited the part completely.”
Shweta Tiwari last appeared in the Amazon Prime Show, titled Indian Police Force, a Rohit Shetty directorial. She shared the screen space with Sidharth Malhotra, Shilpa Shetty Kundra and Vivek Oberoi. Her upcoming project includes Singham Again, another Rohit Shetty directorial. It stars an ensemble cast of Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. The film is set to release on November 1.
Shweta Tiwari is one of the leading names in the Indian television industry. After expanding her work to films, Shweta has also amassed impressive popularity on social media and remains her fans’ favourite.
