TOI: Happy to be on small screen-Shweta

She might present a pretty picture, but there's more to Shweta Tiwari than her looks. From being part of Kasauti Zindagi Kay, reality shows (Comedy Circus, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, Bigg Boss) to films, Shweta has come a long way. 

With her small screen career soaring high withParvarish... Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi she's in a happy space now. She loves to add more zing to her creative side by thinking out of the box and trying out different roles. "I have enjoyed doing all the characters I've played so far. I can't do repetitive ones. I feel that the actors who keep doing repetitive roles are only working to earn their bread and butter. I don't need to struggle for my bread and butter any more. God has given me enough. Now I work for my creative satisfaction and for that I have to push my creative boundaries. Otherwise, the actor in me will die." 

Quiz her whether the big screen dream looks elusive at this juncture and Shweta says, "I'm happy to be on the small screen. I consider myself among the few small screen actors who've got lot of fame, recognition and fan following. Many Bollywood stars are yet to experience that kind of following," she says. 

On her Gujarat experience, the actress says, "I'm surrounded by Gujaratis in my production house. No wonder when I am here I feel quite comfortable. It's so much like Mumbai. I enjoy the Gujarati thali a lot and I always make it a point to have it whenever I visit Gujarat," she says.
