\"ShwethaBF01may2018\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She\u2019s demure, coy and has a very welcoming personality onscreen, which appeals to most viewers of the small screen. Hence, it was natural that Shwetha R Prasad, better known as Radha from Radha Ramana, has won the top slot in Bangalore Times\u2019 15 Most Desirable\u00a0\u00a0Women 2017.<\/p>\n

She caught up with us, talking about work, marriage and more. Excerpts…
\nYou\u2019re Kannada TV\u2019s most desirable woman. Delighted?<\/strong>
\nYes. This means that I\u2019m doing good on TV. The project is doing good, people are watching it and liking it \u2014 isn\u2019t that desirable! For me, desirability is not only about the appearance, but it is the way you are inside out. That is when you are most desirable \u2014 people shouldn\u2019t think you\u2019re fake. When you act, you should really feel like you\u2019re the character. Add to this the attitude you carry both on and off the screen, because everyone is so reachable and accessible through social media. So, people are watching you always.<\/p>\n

Radha Ramana has made you one of the most popular actresses on the small screen. What does this serial mean to you?<\/strong>
\nIt feels great to be recognised as Radha. I\u2019m an architect. I never thought I would have a career in acting. I debuted with the serial Srirasthu Shubamasthu. The serial clocked 600 episodes. I didn\u2019t know what to do next. I then decided that I needed to be associated with a channel and show that was doing better than that. I landed Radha Ramana, a serial that was slated to air on prime time and I was sure it would do really good. It has given me a good push and recognition and I owe everyone who made this happen a lot.<\/p>\n

Is Shwetha similar to Radha?
\n<\/strong>I\u2019m like Radha in many ways. Probably, the only thing that would be a little different is the fact that I am more intelligent than Radha in real life (laughs). Also, I don\u2019t meddle in others\u2019 business like Radha does.
\nPeople, especially elderly women, do not know Shwetha \u2014 they only know Radha. When I go out, these people might be strangers to me, but they know me and meet Radha every single day. I receive so much warmth and familiarity from them. They hug me and speak as if they\u2019ve known me for long and this can be awkward, but I understand that they love my character. When people talk about fame and popularity, I\u2019d say popularity is the love that you get from the people.<\/p>\n

Talking about marital status, your acting career began after marriage…<\/strong>
\nPeople say that opportunities stop after marriage. But, I\u2019m glad that there are people who don\u2019t mind giving opportunities to married women. They don\u2019t stop saying that you\u2019re married. Ultimately, it is the talent that matters. Whether you\u2019re married or unmarried, it boils down to whether you have what the character requires. I\u2019ve been working with sensible people and that’s what matters
\neventually.<\/p>\n

Are films on your agenda too?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m doing a film now. It is an offbeat film. It might release around July. Again, people have seen me as Radha, a married woman onscreen, so I understand I won\u2019t be offered too many roles in terms of versatility. Or, probably, I haven\u2019t shown them that I can be seen differently. So, the offers have been limited and I\u2019ve been choosy in that. Eventually, when I prove myself on the big screen, like I did on the small screen, I am sure more doors will open for me in recognition of my talent.<\/p>\n

Tell us more about your debut film…<\/strong><\/p>\n

In my first film, I didn\u2019t want to do the two-songs-and-one-dance routine. This film, titled Kalbettada Darodekararu, is based on a novel and my character, despite not being onscreen for a long time, has something substantial to offer to the script. I play Kalbettada Kamali, a de-glam role in the film. I\u2019m already doing a de-glam role on TV, but this is much more toned down. So, it made for an interesting choice.<\/p>\n
