Not The Channels favourite !!, Shweta Exclaims !! Options

Shweta Tiwari’s putting the final touches of her make-up before her disco dance performance. But more than the anxiety of the competition, one notices signs of exasperation. Reason being the recent controversy that she had asked the other contestants to underplay their performance so that her jodi wins hands down “Mujhe kya paagal kutte ne kaata hai aisa kehne ko?” she hollers. “And why on earth would anyone listen to me? It’s the most stupid story that one can think of. I would love to know from where it originated. Yes, there is the competitive streak which can lead to bitchiness but this is the limit.”

She also defends the allegation that Narayani Shastri made a jibe at her after her ouster “She never said that. If she had, she wouldn’t text me to say that she had been misquoted. We are not friends nor am I giving her work for her to clarify her stand to me, but she sent me a sms saying that she would never say such things.”

It is being said that Star Plus is heavily promoting her because she is the star of their show ‘Kasauti Zindagi Ki’. “If that was so, then my grades wouldn’t have fallen from 10 in the first episode to 9 in the second and 7 in the third. Hussain is a ‘Star Plus’ face too, so he should have been promoted too while Tanaaz and Bakhtiyaar should have got the lowest points because they aren’t with the channel. But as you can see, one is getting scores as per their performance. So what would you say to that?” she counter questions.

Shweta also offers an explanation for judge Saroj Khan’s deduction of her marks from 10 to 8 in an episode saying, “I went up to Sarojji and told her to give me as much as I deserved and not be driven by emotions That’s when she gave me 8 and I was happy with that too.”

The general view is that her husband Raja is a weak dancer but she thinks otherwise. “My husband is better than me. He is improving with every performance,” quips Shweta.

Shweta feels that reality shows are here to stay. “Sure, the camera catches you rehearsing and even comes into your home. But they do capture you with prior permission. I am not caught unawares at any time and I am definitely cautious when the camera is on. There is no hidden camera,” signs off Shweta.
