During the chat we asked Shweta about meanes thing ever said to her. To which she recalled the time she was bullied because of her height in Telugu industry. She shared, “There was this one Telugu film I was doing and that entire crew everyday would remind me of my height. Because my hero was quite tall. I am 5’2 and he was around 6 ft. He would mess up every scene, give retakes, him being Telugu can’t speak the language. Even I could not but still I managed. And I am like you are telling me about something that I have no control over. It’s something that is genetic so you manage. And that’s the only set where I was really bullied. Very bad! But that was the only time. Otherwise, I was never said anything about my looks. Thanks to my parents for that (chuckles).”
