Shweta, who has been a part of ‘Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki’, ‘Kumkum’ and many popular TV shows, recently recalled the initial phase of her career in an interview and shared her shocking experiences related to casting couch. Shweta told that when she entered the industry, she did not know much about the ways of this world. Many people tried to take advantage of this innocence. He said that in the initial phase he had to face many such questions and situations which scared him to the core.

Journey to becoming a TV star

In a conversation with Shiny Narang, Shweta Kwatra told that she never thought that she would enter the world of acting. She was a Maths Honors student and paid full attention to her studies. However, fate brought her to the TV industry and gradually she became a part of many superhit shows. He said that initially he had a lot of difficulty in understanding the language and gestures of casting agents and people from the industry. Many times such things were said to him, the meaning of which he did not even understand.

‘Will you compromise?’

Shweta revealed that many times she was directly asked, “Will you compromise?” He told that at that time he did not even know the meaning of this word properly. She could not understand what the other person wanted to say. When she asked the question again, the people in front of her would try to explain with gestures and body language. The actress said that she felt very uncomfortable at that time. She said, “Being a girl, it is not easy to express in words the fear that comes in my mind at that time. Many times I could not understand whether the person in front of me was joking or was really saying such a thing.”

Hotel was called in the name of ‘audition’

Recalling her scariest experience, Shweta said that once she was called to a big hotel in the city for an audition. She said that when she reached there, many other girls were also present in a room. He felt that everything was normal and it was an audition environment, so he did not feel much insecurity in the beginning. But after some time he was called alone to another room.

Writer, director and producer were present in the room

Shweta told that some people were sitting in the other room, which included the writer, director and producer. First he was talked to about the script and asked whether he had read the script. After this he was asked to take a walk, which he did. What happened next surprised him completely.

Asked to ‘take off clothes’

According to Shweta, during the conversation she was asked to take off her clothes. She told that at first she thought that maybe she had heard wrong, but when the same thing was said again, she was completely stunned. The actress said, “At that time I was very embarrassed, scared and angry. There were only those people in the room and I was alone. I did not know what to do.”

came out of that difficult situation wisely

Shweta told that instead of getting nervous, she tried to remain calm and asked the people sitting in front why this was necessary. According to her, the reply she received was that it was for an alleged swim test and they wanted to see how she would look on screen if she wore a swimming costume. The actress told that she did not find this thing right at all. She said, “I just said ‘Thank you’ and immediately left from there. My condition at that time was such that my heartbeats increased due to fear.”

This incident taught a lesson for life

Shweta said that after this incident she learned one important thing forever. According to him, while going for any audition or meeting, one must keep in mind that there is a safe exit from there and if necessary, one can leave from there immediately. He said that in the initial days, artists are often not aware of the realities of the industry and that is why many people try to take advantage of them.

Questions raised on agents and middlemen

Shweta Kwatra believes that sometimes there are agents and middlemen behind such incidents in the industry, who take advantage of the helplessness and inexperience of new artists. He also raised the question that if an audition is to be held somewhere, then the environment there should be professional. Such circumstances can make any new artist feel uncomfortable and insecure.
