Shweta
Tiwari is back in the spotlight and for a change she's not talking about her personal
life but professional life. Dressed in a sexy net sari and sporting a bright
smile, Shweta looked at ease with herself. A part of this
excitement stems from her upcoming realty show Aajaa Mahi Vay (Star Plus)
where she'll be donning the hat of a judge for the very first time. Aajaa..
is a show wherein 11 couples will dance for the most coveted prize i.e. a dream
wedding. Tellychakkar caught up with the actress for a brief
chat at the show's launch
Isn't
it a quick transition from contestant to a judge?
No, it hasn't been
quick. Over the years, I've participated in many dance reality shows and have
been exposed to various forms of dancing. I'm going to draw that experience here.
Besides, one mustn't' forget that I too am a dancer. Is it right for
couples to solemnise their relationship in public? This will truly come as a shock
for those families who aren't aware of what their child is up to. It's
not that the families aren't aware but a few of them don't approve of their relationship.
There's resentment on grounds of religion, caste or economical factors .After
all, no parent would like their child to be married to one who is financially
insecure. Aaja… presents an opportunity for the couple to show
to the world that their love is indeed true. Also, the parents too can gauge whether
how much this guy/girl loves their child. What if there's a breakdown
in a relationship after the show, then would that not embarrass both the couple
and their families? It's better that such a thing takes place before
rather than later. Aajaa..
will enable them to find whether they are truly made for each other. Your partner
may not good be enough for you to win this contest but that doesn't mean that
you break a relation. In that case, you don't trust your partner. How
would you react if tomorrow you were to see your child springing a surprise on
such a show? That would mean that I've failed as a mother and that
I didn't share any rapport with her. I have an eight-year-old daughter whom I've
always treated as a friend. I'm sure she would never take such a step without
informing me. Your final thoughts on Kasautii Zindagi Kay?
All I want to say is that, with Kasautti I was thinking more like Prerna
and less of Shweta.
With the show going off air, I'm back at being myself. Like most reality
shows, will we see squabbling judges here too? Such a situation will
only arise when each of us have different opinions. It's here that my experience
as a contestant on reality shows will come handy as I know that a critical comment
could have a damaging effect on a contestant. I'll refrain from making such comments.
This will disappoint the media as you wouldn't find any masala here.
Why does Shweta Tiwari shy away from the media? That's
not true. I'm available most of the time but you people seldom ask me anything.
Couple of days ago, I got a call from a scribe who wanted to confirm about an
untoward incident. However, I didn't buy this and instead of listening to what
I had to say he kept insisting that what he heard from his source was true. I
merely told him that if he isn't interested in listening to me then why did he
call.
