“Love, for me, is security, fun, partnership, and respect. It doesn’t matter how much time you spend together, what matters is how you spend it. I’m very lucky to have married my best friend! He’s my most favourite person on this planet and no matter how terrible my day is, when I hug him and go to sleep, it’s the best feeling ever! So I feel, a marriage is a partnership—it’s upto you what kind of partnership you want it to be.”
Today, Golu may be a household name all thanks to Mirzapur, but long before she became Golu, Shweta Tripathi Sharma began her acting journey—at the age of 6, in a school play! From playing a ‘cloud’ to tomboy Zenia in Kya Mast Hai Life & from the innocent Shalu in Masaan to the badass Golu in Mirzapur, Shweta’s acting choices showcase her versatility in her craft. And while she allows her characters to shine on screen, off-screen, Shweta’s infectious energy is hard to miss—a bubbly personality with a zest for life, Shweta is a force to be reckoned with.
Join us for an unmissable conversation where we spoke to Shweta all about Mirzapur, but also, lots more beyond acting! Shweta shared it all—from the toll playing Golu took on her mental health, to anecdotes with Pankaj Tripathi; and from how she manifested her dream life to her take on love and her marriage with rapper Chaitnya Sharma, and more!
Watch this episode, not just for the behind-the-scenes nuggets on Mirzapur, but also for the wisecracks, inspiration, and a big dollop of positivity!
