Actress Shweta Mahadik is happy and excited to bag yet another show on Colors. After being seen in a cameo role in Balika Vadhu, Shweta went on to bag the prized role of Pavitra in Colors’ Krishndasi.

And now, she will be seen in yet another challenging avatar in Colors’ latest offering, Ek Shringaar... Swabhimaan, produced by Rajshri Productions that launches tonight, 19 December at the 9.30 PM slot.

Shweta will play the role of Nirmala Chauhan, mother to the lead guy, essayed by Samridh Bawa. Her character will be very coy, with no voice of her own.

Shweta’s character will be very important in the story line. There will be a thread of suspense too hovering around her relationship between her very close friend Sandhya (Suchitra Pillai).

Nirmala will be so close to Sandhya, that Sandhya would be staying with the family. There will be an intrigue developing over the reason why Sandhya would be staying with them.       

When contacted, Shweta told us, “I am happy to bag this role after Krishndasi on Colors. Pavitra from Krishndasi was very insecure and could do anything to protect her son from Aradhya. But Nirmala is very timid, a very homely bahu who is married to a rich industrialist. But she does not even know how to eat with a fork and spoon. Her husband only treats her like a trophy wife, and she has no decision making powers.”

Shweta also feels privileged to work with seasoned campaigners like Vinay Jain, Paintal and Suchitra Pillai. Vinay Jain will play Shweta’s on-screen husband, and senior actor Paintal will essay her father-in-law.

Here’s wishing Shweta all the best for her new role.
