Actress Shweta Basu Prasad, who will be seen in the Huma Qureshi-starrer Maharani 4, said that when creator Subhash Kapoor told her he had always envisioned the character of Roshni with her in mind as the series progressed, it meant the world to her.

She said: “Being the creator’s first choice is the biggest compliment an actor can receive. When Subhash Kapoor told me he had imagined Roshni with me in mind whenever the show moved ahead, it meant the world.”

Shweta added: “To be living in a creator’s imagination before a character even exists, that doesn’t happen often.”

On set, Shweta didn’t just blend well, her camaraderie with Huma and Kani Kusruti became a creative force. She added: “When you join a set mid-way, you worry about gelling, but Huma and Kani were instantly welcoming.”IAN
