The show is produced by Siddharth Kumar Tewary’s Swastik Productions and delves into the lives of the Mahajan family and the politics inside a mega-powerful family. The story edges on the lines of heritage and succession. 

Actress Sheetal Tiwari has returned to TV after a small hiatus and she is currently a part of two shows, Vanshaj and Shiv Shkati Tap Tyag Tandav.

TellyChakkar got in touch with the actress to talk about her journey and more.

You're going to be playing two very simultaneously, different characters, what can you tell us about them?

So, I gave an audition for Shiv Shakti and later, got selected for that. I was on-board and then, something similar happened with Shiv Shakti as well. Both the shows are now on-air. Initially, I was not sure if I would be able to juggle both shows simultaneously.  It was tough for me to take the call. But, they really liked my look-up. Now, there will be two different characters of me for the audience to enjoy! Talking about Simone in Vanshaj, she is very outspoken and very humble at the same time. She's a photographer, and so she has a good life and is content. She has her own house and everything. But, she is deeply in love with DJ and she knows that he is married. They have been unable to separate themselves from each other. But, we will have to wait and watch the show for more things to unfold. 

And talking about the show, Shiv Shakti, it was very tough, because I have a very Bombay accent and in the show. They needed proper Sanskrit speaking and Hindi that was very pure. So, I gave the audition in March and then just prepped and prepped. I had to work on my language a lot initially and then slowly it started happening naturally. So, I definitely had to work a lot, and in mythological shows, you have to be calm and act in a way in which you can portray the correct emotions.

What can we expect from Simone in Vanshaj going forward?

Audience can expect romance. No doubt about that. She is going to play a very important role. Also, there will be lots of twists and turns coming up. 

Is OTT something that you would be willing to work on between these two shows? Maybe in future, if you get an opportunity? 

I love OTT. I've been a part of digital projects like Baarish and Cyber squad and I love it. You get time to practice your character, to prepare yourself and everything. So, performance-wise it’s better. If I get an opportunity, my main motive is to do a big-screen movie as a lead.  Also, I would love to play a gangster. I love to play different roles that offer different shades. I can do a lot of things, but as Goddess Lakshmi, you cannot be so expressive. You have to be very calm and composed because the nature of the show is such. As an audience, you have to be very poised, smiling and happy. They are the Creators, so they cannot be so expressive. I'm excited to explore this side of acting as well. 

Sheetal is currently seen playing two very different roles in Vanshaj and Shiv Shakti: Tap, Tyag, Tandav.
