In the dazzling world of Indian cinema, stars can rise to the heights of fame in an instant, only to fade into obscurity just as quickly due to controversies and failures.
Entertainment: The glittering world of Indian cinema elevates stars with great speed, but it is equally ruthless in bringing them down to earth. There comes a time when the same faces that once dominated every screen disappear into the labyrinth of oblivion after a few years. This can be due to personal decisions, controversies, or simply a change in fortune.
Such has been the journey of Shweta Basu Prasad. Starting as a child artist with a bang, Shweta proved her talent by winning a National Award at just 11 years old. But life presented her with a complex phase when she got entangled in a flesh trade racket. Even in this difficult time, Shweta did not lose heart and made such a शानदार comeback on screen that no one expected.
Recognition from 'Makdee'
In 2002, Shweta won the hearts of the audience by playing a double role in Vishal Bhardwaj's film 'Makdee'. Her brilliant performance earned her the National Award. After this, in Nagesh Kukunoor's film 'Iqbal' (2005), she played the character of Khadija, which is still fresh in the minds of the audience.
Her success as a child artist made her popular in the world of television as well. She played important roles in 'Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki' and many other serials. Apart from this, she also stepped into Telugu cinema and impressed the South Indian audience with her acting in the film 'Bangaru Lokam'.
The Most Difficult Phase of Her Career
The year 2014 proved to be very challenging for Shweta. She was taken into custody by the police from a five-star hotel in Hyderabad in an alleged sex racket case. Media reports claimed that she had resorted to the wrong path due to financial difficulties. This news spread like wildfire and dealt a severe blow to Shweta's image. At that time, she was only 23 years old. Due to the controversies, she had to stay in jail for almost two months. However, after a thorough investigation of the case, all the charges against Shweta were dropped, and it became clear that she had been framed in a false case.
Later, Shweta herself said that she never admitted to any wrongdoing and that she had gone to Hyderabad only to attend an award ceremony. Despite this, the incident affected her career for a long time.
Ups and Downs in Shweta's Personal Life
After struggling with controversies, Shweta also saw many ups and downs in her personal life. In 2018, she married filmmaker Rohit Mittal, but this relationship did not last long. Just one year later, in 2019, the two divorced by mutual consent. Shweta herself spoke openly about this on social media and said that despite the divorce, her friendship with Rohit remained intact. This transparency impressed her fans and gave them a vision of her as a b and self-reliant woman.
Despite controversies and personal struggles, Shweta never gave up. She made a comeback on OTT platforms and once again impressed the audience with her शानदार acting.
