This actress was once a superstar, now selling properties in Dubai, once wanted to end her life due to..., her name is...
In an industry where reinvention is essential, few transformations have been as bold and effortless of that of television star Shweta Kawaatra. Once a household face for her compelling performances in iconic shows like K ahaani Ghar Ghar Kii and Kumkum – Ek Pyara Sa Bandhan, C.I.D, Shweta has now made a striking shift into a completely different area- the world of luxury estate.
Yes, the actress who once used to captivate audiences with her acting chops has now shifted paths from entertainment to entrepreneurship. Shweta is now grabbing headlines for selling premium properties, particularly in Dubai. The former actress is actively promoting high-end real estate through her social media handle.
Shweta isn't doing this all alone. She works alongside her partner Rishi Bagga, offering insights into the luxurious properties and housing markets. Through their credibility and charm, they have built a loyal audience and an incredible digital presence.
Married to his Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii co-star Manav Kohli, the couple are proud parents to their daughter, Zahara Tabeetha. After giving birth to her lovely daughter, Shweta was struggling with postpartum depression. The actress gained 30 kgs post-pregnancy and shared how postpartum days actually affected her. 'I was not just low, I had brain fog. I had panic attacks. I would be angry for no reason. I used to feel helpless, I was suicidal and this was a very hopeless situation.' She said to HT Digital.
Shweta revealed that she switched to doing physical activity only when her body felt okay. 'My daughter is 10 now and it took me five years to breathe easy. Now, I want to take care of my daughter with less burden and not be overwhelmed with depression. I think I can now balance my work and family.' She said.
From being a star to now charting out a completely different path for herself, Shweta's journey is a testament of living life fearlessly and remorselessly.

Film Heritage Foundation Celebrates Raj Khosla's 100th Birth Anniversary With Restored Classics
Last Updated: Raj Khosla's centenary will be celebrated with restored 4K screenings of C.I.D., Bambai Ka Babu & more at Mumbai's Regal Cinema. Free public event. On the occasion of legendary filmmaker Raj Khosla's 100th birth anniversary, the Film Heritage Foundation (FHF) has announced a day-long celebration titled 'Raj Khosla 100 – Bambai Ka Babu'. Taking place on May 31, 2025, at Mumbai's historic Regal Cinema, the event will offer a rare chance to revisit some of Khosla's most iconic films on the big screen—restored to their original cinematic glory. The retrospective will feature special screenings of C.I.D. (1956), Bambai Ka Babu (1960), and Mera Gaon Mera Desh (1971). Two of these films—C.I.D. and Bambai Ka Babu—have been restored in 4K resolution by the NFDC – National Film Archive of India under the National Film Heritage Mission, a government initiative dedicated to the preservation and restoration of Indian cinema. The event will also include a panel discussion featuring distinguished guests such as veteran actress Asha Parekh, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, and Amborish Roychoudhury, author of Raj Khosla: The Authorized Biography. Together, they will reflect on Khosla's cinematic vision and the cultural impact of his diverse body of work. Shivendra Singh Dungarpur, Director of Film Heritage Foundation, described Khosla as 'the Howard Hawks of Indian cinema," referencing his mastery across genres—from thrillers and musicals to romance and action. 'He was a filmmaker whose name on the hoarding was as important as his stars," Dungarpur noted, adding that Khosla's innovative storytelling and nuanced depiction of strong female characters made him a trailblazer. 'We are proud to celebrate his centenary with this retrospective, and grateful to the NFDC for restoring two of his classics for the occasion." For Asha Parekh, who worked with Khosla on several hits including Do Badan and Mera Gaon Mera Desh, the tribute is deeply personal. 'He gave me one of my most memorable performances," she said. 'His understanding of emotions and song picturization was unmatched. I'm thrilled the Film Heritage Foundation is keeping his legacy alive for new generations." Mahesh Bhatt, in a heartfelt statement, recalled Khosla as a philosophical mentor. 'He once told me fame is like starlight—traveling across time even after the star is gone. Raj Sahab was that star. His influence lives on in all of us who were lucky enough to be shaped by him." NFDC Managing Director Prakash Magdum emphasized the importance of the restored versions being screened. 'Bombai Ka Babu has been preserved in our collection for decades, and showcasing it in 4K for the first time is a landmark moment. It's our honor to present these restored prints during such an important celebration." The screenings are free and open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis—part of Film Heritage Foundation's ongoing mission to make classic cinema accessible and preserve India's rich film legacy. The foundation has previously curated tributes to cinematic icons like Dev Anand, Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor, and Amitabh Bachchan, earning praise for its commitment to cultural preservation. Over the course of his three-decade career, Raj Khosla directed 27 films that redefined the grammar of Hindi cinema. From his early days as an assistant to Guru Dutt to his collaborations with stars like Dev Anand and Asha Parekh, Khosla was an architect of visual storytelling whose work bridged art and commerce. He introduced a lyrical style to thrillers, reinvented romance with psychological depth, and pioneered narrative song sequences that would become standard across Bollywood. As Raj Khosla 100 – Bambai Ka Babu brings his work back to the silver screen, audiences old and new will get to experience the light of a cinematic star whose brilliance refuses to fade.

Shweta Tripathi Produces Bold Queer Drama ‘Cock', Set To Debut In Mumbai And Delhi This Pride Month
Last Updated: Shweta Tripathi debuts as a theatre producer with queer play Cock, premiering in Delhi and Mumbai this Pride Month to celebrate LGBTQ+ stories on stage. Shweta Tripathi Sharma, best known for her powerful performances across film and OTT platforms, is returning to her artistic roots—theatre—with a bold new role: producer. More than a decade since she last appeared on stage, Shweta is back, this time producing the Indian premiere of the critically acclaimed queer play Cock, written by British playwright Mike Bartlett. The production is set to debut during Pride Month, with premiere performances on June 6 at Max Mueller Bhavan in Delhi and June 10 at Mumbai's iconic Prithvi Theatre. Produced under her newly launched theatre banner AllMyTea, Cock is a raw, emotionally charged narrative that explores sexuality, identity, and the spectrum of human connection. The play, directed by UK-based theatre-maker Manish Gandhi, features an impressive cast including Rytasha Rathore, Tanmay Dhanania, Sahir Mehta, and Harssh Singh. With a story centered around a man torn between his long-term male partner and a newfound attraction to a woman, the play delivers a gripping, intimate exploration of desire and self-discovery—topics that remain deeply relevant today. For Shweta, this isn't just a creative venture; it's a deeply personal mission. 'Theatre has always been my first love," she said. 'It's raw, immediate, and leaves no space to hide—from the audience or from the truth. Producing a play like Cock is a personal and creative decision born out of my belief that storytelling should reflect the world in all its complexity and beauty." She emphasized the importance of staging such narratives during Pride Month: 'We are living in a time where people are finally feeling empowered to own their identities, and Cock doesn't shy away from the discomfort or the beauty of that journey. It's messy, human, and real. That's what drew me to it." The actor-producer also sees this project as a vehicle for change: 'Pride Month is a celebration, yes—but it's also a reminder that visibility, inclusion, and acceptance are still ongoing battles. With this play, we aim to honour queer experiences and give them the stage they have long deserved." Currently in pre-production, Cock marks a significant leap in Shweta Tripathi's evolution—not just as a performer, but as a creative force shaping conversations around identity and inclusion. As she transitions into this new chapter of storytelling, Shweta is not just making a return—she's making a statement. First Published: May 31, 2025, 17:59 IST
