Shweta Tripathi Had Auditioned For Dangal And Secret Superstar, Reveals She Initially Wanted To Be A Lawyer

Shweta Tripathi has been an actor for quite some time. She had started off from the TV industry and has now gradually made her mark in all mediums of entertainment. She is a talented actress who can nail everything- from playing a schoolgirl who is in love with her teacher or is suffering from alopecia to playing a girl from a small hopelessly in love. She has played every character with nuance. But, did you know that the actress had also auditioned for Dangal and Secret Superstar.

In an interview with Hindustantimes, the actress opened up about what keeps her going and that is when she opened up about auditioning for Dangal and Secret Superstar. She said, “Often people approach me with offers that are ‘female protagonist role hai, central character hai, festival ke liye film’. It is funny as they think these words will make me accept the projects but that is not my driving force. I like my life to be as simple and my characters to be dramatic. Everyone wants money and popularity but that is not why I became an actor. If there is not much for me to do or learn, then I don’t pick up roles. Though date issues aren’t a problem yet, but I had auditioned for Dangal (2016) and Secret Superstar (2017) for the girl’s role which would have been great. But I didn’t get the roles. Hats off to the actors who played it as they nailed it.”

She also revealed that she initially wanted to be a lawyer. She said, “I wanted to be a lawyer as I wanted to make a difference in society but now, I can still do that being an actor. When you can use your moral compass and portray values through your roles that you believe in then it is great.”

We hope she continues the great work. She has quite a few projects set for release like Ticket To Bollywood, Naina and Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein.
