EXCLUSIVE: Shweta Tiwari recalls shooting for Kasautii Zindagi Kay in “gross” lake water with kids’ poop and snake: “We were in this water the whole night”

Shweta Tiwari, fondly remembered for her portrayal of Prerna Sharma in Ektaa Kapoor's iconic drama Kasautii Zindagi Kay, recently shared a behind-the-scenes anecdote from the show. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Shweta recounted a challenging experience while filming a scene for one of the show's early episodes. The scene required her character to fall into a river, with her co-star Cezanne Khan's character jumping in to rescue her. The narrative demanded that both actors remain in the water throughout the night.

Shweta Tiwari Recalls Shooting in Less Than Ideal Condition "It was really gross," Shweta revealed. "Cezanne and I were shooting for a sequence where my character falls into a river and his character jumps in to save me. The story required our characters to stay in the water the whole night and only come out in the morning when someone else comes to help us."

"We were shooting this in Film City Lake and stayed in the water all night," Shweta continued. "In the morning, we realised that kids had been sitting on the edge of the lake and pooping there. I was like, 'Oh s***, we were in this water the whole night!'" 

As if the sewage water wasn't enough, Shweta also encountered another unsettling surprise. "I also saw a snake crawling there," she added, "and realised it was in the water with us at night."

Kasautii Zindagi Kay's Legacy Kasautii Zindagi Kay, which aired from 2001 to 2008, remains a popular television drama in India. The show's success spawned a reboot, Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2, in 2018. However, the second iteration failed to capture the same level of viewership as the original.
