Shweta Tiwari returns to small screen with Aapka Apna Zakir
After being away from television for over a year, Shweta Tiwari, last seen as the protagonist in Main Hoon Aparajita, is set to return to the small screen with Aapka Apna Zakir. The comedy show marks her comeback to the genre 13 years after winning Comedy Circus Ka Naya Daur. As the only woman in an all-male cast, she shares, “Aise shows mein ladki hona aasaan nahi hai. They often tease you, and there is a lot of leg-pulling. I think it will be fun, though. I have realised that aaj kal ki comedy sirf logon par hassna hai.
However, this show is different because Zakir makes jokes about himself and his life experiences. She personally resonates with clean comedy that doesn’t demean anyone. Also, people often think women can’t do comedy and are only there for their looks. But, she feels she has hanged that perception by doing comedy. She doesn’t think she will be just a pretty face there.
For Shweta a workout is the best anti-ageing remedy.
In recent years, Shweta has garnered attention online for being one of the fittest actresses in showbiz. She says, “People have started to believe that staying fit is all about looking good. Many focus on achieving perfect abs, often resorting to supplements and steroids, which can be harmful. When I approached a trainer, he asked her what she had in mind.”
Shweta says, “However, her daughter (Palak Tiwari) told him that she didn’t have a specific target or wanted to emulate someone else’s physique; but ust wanted to be fit.
She adds, that Women need to spare time time for themselves. Just working out for an hour a day can make a significant difference. A workout is the best anti-ageing remedy.”
She comes across bizarre comments on social media every day.
Compliments are often accompanied by trolling, but Shweta remains unfazed by the negativity on social media.
She further adds that she has come across bizarre comments every day, and it amazes her how far-fetched people can be.
Logon ka ye sochna ki main gold-digger hoon, shaadi se paise lekar main apni life chala rahi hoon. I read such nasty comments and I know those who post them don’t actually believe them – they just like to add that extra bitterness. I don’t care about what people say, I do what I want.”
‘Many people think one can’t be naturally beautiful anymore’
Talking about how some people think that she has gone under the knife, Shweta says, “People assume I have had surgeries, but that’s not how you stay healthy and fit. Surgery jisne karvaayi hai uski shakal par dikhti hai. If you want to correct something and look a certain way, that’s fine, and I am not against it. But many think one can’t be naturally beautiful anymore, which I don’t agree with it.”
She has thought her daughter Palak not to let others’ opinions affect her. Elaborating on her journey spanning two decades, the Kasautii Zindagi Kay actress shares, “One of the most important lessons she has learnt, and something she has taught her daughter, is not let others’ opinions affect her
People will try to plant doubts, telling you that you can’t do something or that you’re not fit for the job. But you have to believe in yourself first, and eventually, others will come around; they won’t have a choice.”
