Shweta Kawatra, who had been looking for a daily soap since June last year, has finally ended her quest by joining KumKum. In the serial, Shweta is playing Juhi Parmar's friend Nivedita who meets her after a long time. "At present the story is how she manages to mingle with the family," says Shweta.

In the real life too, Shweta and Juhi are good friends and have another link between them as well. It is none other than Anuj Saxena who was a part in both these women's life at some time or the other.

The story of KumKum starts at the times of Kkusum. Anuj had a fondness for Narayani Shastri and Shweta for him. Anuj never paid any heed to Shweta and she often cried on the shoulders of Manav Gohil (her husband) who in turn liked her. Manav also provided her moral support and helped her communicate with Anuj.

But things did not work out for Shweta and she finally developed a liking for Manav and eventually they got married. Anuj was also involved with Juhi when he was working in Kumkum. The couple has broken up recently.

Shweta admits, "We share a good rapport. She is my friend and also because Manav and Juhi were good friends".

Yes Shweta, it is better to forget the past and move ahead in life. - (SAMPURN)
