Reflecting on her connection with the city, Shweta shared, “Benaras…this city keeps reminding me. I have been coming here since the days of Masaan. My grandmother studied at BHU, my mother wore a Benarasi lehenga for her wedding, in many ways this city is closely linked to my life. Even my coach, Tridev Pandey, is from here. Mirzapur also has its roots in this region, and all this makes Benaras feel like home. I love the food, the relaxed pace of life, the taste of kadak kulhad chai and the simplicity of the people. These days, even the weather seems to welcome us with open arms.”
She added, “The madness of Mirzapur is such that fans are constantly posting updates and photos from our shoots in Benaras, it’s like receiving live updates from our extended family! It’s not just about the cast and crew anymore; the audience is also part of our world. Behind the scenes, there is so much love, laughter and beauty, that’s what motivates me every day. The Prime Video family and Excel Entertainment has grown even bigger this time, and it really feels like a big family now.
