Surgery jisne karvaayi hai uski shakal par dikhti hai-Shweta Tiwari
8:09 AM
Neha Maheshwri (BOMBAY TIMES; July 26, 2024)
After being away from television for over a year, Shweta Tiwari, last seen as the protagonist in Main Hoon Aparajita, is set to return to the small screen with Aapka Apna Zakir. The comedy show marks her comeback to the genre 13 years after winning Comedy Circus Ka Naya Daur.
As the only woman in an all-male cast, she shares, “Aise shows mein ladki hona aasaan nahi hai. They often tease you, and there is a lot of leg-pulling. I think it will be fun, though. I have realized that aaj kal ki comedy sirf logon par hassna hai. However, this show is different because Zakir makes jokes about himself and his life experiences. I personally resonate with clean comedy that doesn’t demean anyone. Also, people often think women can’t do comedy and are only there for their looks. I feel I have changed that perception by doing comedy. I don’t think I will be just a pretty face there.”
‘A workout is the best anti-ageing remedy’
In recent years, Shweta has garnered attention online for being one of the fittest actresses in showbiz. She says, “People have started to believe that staying fit is all about looking good. Many focus on achieving perfect abs, often resorting to supplements and steroids, which can be harmful. When I approached a trainer, he asked me what I had in mind.”
Shweta says, “However, my daughter (Palak Tiwari) told him I didn’t have a specific target or wanted to emulate someone else’s physique; I just wanted to be fit.”
She adds, “Women need to make time for themselves. Just working out for an hour a day can make a significant difference. A workout is the best anti-ageing remedy.”
‘I come across bizarre comments on social media every day’
Compliments are often accompanied by trolling, but Shweta remains unfazed by the negativity on social media. She says, “I come across bizarre comments every day, and it amazes me how far-fetched people can be. Logon ka ye sochna ki main gold-digger hoon, shaadi se paise lekar main apni life chala rahi hoon. I read such nasty comments and I know those who post them don’t actually believe them – they just like to add that extra bitterness. I don’t care about what people say, I do what I want.”
‘Many people think one can’t be naturally beautiful anymore’
Talking about how some people think that she has gone under the knife, Shweta says, “People assume I have had surgeries, but that’s not how you stay healthy and fit. Surgery jisne karvaayi hai uski shakal par dikhti hai. If you want to correct something and look a certain way, that’s fine, and I am not against it. But many think one can’t be naturally beautiful anymore, which I don’t agree with it.”
‘I have taught Palak not to let others’ opinions affect her’
Reflecting on her journey spanning two decades, the Kasautii Zindagi Kay actress shares, “One of the most important lessons I have learnt, and something I have taught my daughter, is not to let others’ opinions affect you. People will try to plant doubts, telling you that you can’t do something or that you’re not fit for the job. But you have to believe in yourself first, and eventually, others will come around; they won’t have a choice.”
My abs are defined for two days and I am bloated for the next four-Shweta Tiwari

After her defined abs drew attention on social media, Shweta Tiwari says fitness is a continuous process to achieve desired results

She has always been fit, but of late, actor Shweta Tiwari has been giving her fans fitness goals by flaunting her ripped body on social media. Of late, her physique has garnered a lot of attention, especially her abs.
“It is lovely to hear compliments,” says the 41-year-old, adding, “But I don’t look like the way I am in those photos every day. I shouldn’t be saying this, but people need to know that it is not just a fit body but the lights, camera angle and pose that also helps you look a certain way in the photos. The truth is my abs are defined for two days and I am bloated for the next four.”
Tiwari states fitness is a continuous process and adds, “Your body won’t be ripped always, it needs work every day. People want to attain a ripped body in two months, which is not possible. Daily workouts will give you results.”
Other than weight training and cardio, there are days when Tiwari is unable to devote an hour for workout, but she has fixes for those times, too. She elaborates, “During the pandemic, we all realised the importance of fitness and to stay fit. Even when we are at home, we need to keep moving. I do something or the other, be it jogging or walking or skipping at home. You should move your body every day. For me, fitness is not just abs, but overall health. Body hamesha fit nahin rehti. If you are not unwell, don’t lose breathe or get tired while walking or running, then you are fit.”
The actor admits that she didn’t workout in her 20s or 30s. “Good results” motivated her and her dietician helps her stay on track.
Ask her if she is happy with the way she looks today and she replies, “Yes, absolutely! Sure, I put on weight at times and there are times when I get tired of diet restrictions and I want to eat whatever I feel like having. Last year, when I was unwell, I ate what I wanted to, but after a while, I wanted to get fitter. I have changed as a person and don’t want to stray off my diet much. I have cheat meals and cheat days, but only once a week.”
Shweta Tiwari was lean, but not fit-Sahil Rashid

Fitness trainer Sahil Rashid, who turned Shweta Tiwari fighting fit, discusses preparing her for a stunt-based reality show

Two years before she gave her nod to participate in an ongoing stunt-based reality show, Shweta Tiwari had sought professional help to tend to a shoulder injury. The TV actor, 40, who despite having a lean frame throughout her life, hadn’t particularly dedicated herself to a fitness routine, was eager to revisit her lifestyle. “She was lean, but not fit. When we began to work with her, a lot of rehabilitation training, and physiotherapy was involved,” says Sahil Rashid, who not only worked her back into shape, but also readied her for the reality show.
Rashid had been specifically appointed to enhance her skill-work, a regimen he distinguishes from strength-based training, which was being catered to by another trainer. “I was dealing with stability, balance, explosive work, and agility. We had to prepare her for a stunt-based show, which means agility work was important to reduce her response time. That implied making her capable of reacting to situations faster during training. We were working on movements, instead of merely targeting muscles. For instance, lunges work on specific muscles of the legs, but couple lunges with torso rotations, and that becomes a movement-related training employing motor skills.”
Aligned with the nature of the show, Rashid introduced her to new routines each day, thereby preparing her body for the kind of physical work it would be exposed to. “My area of expertise is posture correction and skill work. Obstacle courses that involved vertical, horizontal, and rotational movements were designed to challenge her muscles in different ways. Explosive training is always sports-specific, and we added rope climbing, monkey bars, stability ball exercises, and hanging routines to enhance her grip strength.”
Rashid — who had also been training Tiwari’s daughter — paid particular attention to developing the actor’s core strength, which, he says, enhances appendicular movement. “The body should have good mobility. You need to understand what movements can cause injuries, and, should know how to tackle them. Isometric work was included to prevent injuries. Also, your muscles must be well-nourished to manage the task at hand,” says Rashid, who trained her thrice a week.
