Men are inferior to women: Shweta From Tia in Remix to Priyanka in Durgesh Nandini , Shweta Gulati has played a variety of roles. Sprinkle in Kyun Hota Hai Pyaar , Lipstick , Shagun and Pardey Ke Peeche and her kitty is filled with varied roles, but Prahlad Kakkars discovery Shweta has an equally varied and interesting perspective on men and relationships. BT finds out what that is.
Whats the best thing about being a TV actor?
Being interviewed (giggles). I get to live a fairytale life and play all kinds of people. Im a different person each time.
Why are negative roles so difficult?
It is not easy to play someone who hurts people. You have to say nasty things and do bad acts. People aren't conditioned to doing such acts, so one has to go deeper into the psyche of the character.
Define men.
Men are inferior to women, but we love to keep them under the impression that they are the smarter ones. We cant do without them and it is difficult to live with them.
Whats the one thing that irks you about them?
Insensitivity. Men are insensitive grizzlies; sensitivity is a virtue most of them lack. And yes, of course, body odour if you smell nice, you probably are nice!
So is there any Indian actor whom you find hot?
Nah! Indian actors need miles to go before they can even be considered on a hotness scale. But yes, Hollywood definitely has some. George Clooney, Jude Law and Richard Gere can make any girl go weak in the knees.
What is love?
Love is companionship and bonding. Im not like those silly girls who talk of love and sacrifice. Its sharing your lives with each other, and everything is included in that.
Who was your first crush?
I was 15 and he was a little older. He proposed to me and I rejected him. No regrets, though if I had said yes, I wouldnt be here today.
Whats your idea of romance?
A beach somewhere in Goa with miles and miles of golden sand and the waves kissing them. Suddenly, out of the blue, he whispers into my ears, Honey, marry me. Couldnt be more romantic than that!
Whats the one thing you would cook for your guy?
Id like to cook spicy mutton curry. Hell come begging on his knees for more. And then some more.
