Kapil’s team wished me luck for Mad In India: Shweta Tiwari

Interestingly, Shweta was approached for both Comedy Nights With Kapil on Colors and Mad In India. However, she chose to be a part of the latter.

We all know that Shweta is great friends with Kapil, given their Comedy Circus connection.

So, why did she choose Mad In India over Kapil’s show, we queried her. “I realised that Kapil’s show is set, hence I wouldn’t have known the life of the character they were offering me. Katrina Mishra was good, plus this was a new show, so I took it up. In fact, I told Kapil’s team about the same and they wished me luck. Hence, I don’t think there are problems. I did do a cameo sequence with them”

What about Kapil’s show being a direct competitor to your new show? “No, we are not competing. We are just being compared by you people (the media). Had we been competing, we too would have got a bua or a dadi but then we have a mohalla (society),”clarified the artist.

On the new avatar of Katrina Mishra, the elegant lady said, “She will do something new every time to impress the audience. Moreover while the other artists play the same characters she will be seen in different avatars.”

Shweta who has developed a very good comic timing, with her vast experience in the genre went on to say, “I have learnt the knack over a period of time. After enormous efforts put in, I now have a good comic timing, as that’s the most important thing when it comes to a comic act, especially when celebrities come on the show. One has to be impromptu as they do not have a script. So, I’d say I am still learning.”

The actress has also mastered Bhojpuri for her character and she gives the credit to good friend Manoj Tiwari. “Trust me I can hardly speak in Bhojpuri. But let me tell you the truth. I copy Manoj Tiwari (wink).” Now that’s an interesting confession.

Keep up the good work, lady!!!
