In a recent interview with SCREEN, Shweta Tiwari revealed how she unexpectedly bagged Prerna's role in Kasautii Zindagi Kay. She shared that the producer of the hit show, Ektaa Kapoor, had once called her to the cabin to allegedly scold her for arriving late on sets. Shweta, who had given birth to her daughter Palak then, would often arrive late on the sets.
As Shweta reached to meet Ektaa Kapoor in her office, the actress recalled, "I was so scared to go and meet her after the pack-up. It was around 9:30-10 pm, and she was sitting on a sofa. I was scared because I was new."
