A Born Actor & The Story Of Her Passion | #Guftugu with Shweta Tripathi Sharma | Full Episode

In this episode of Guftugu, Shweta Tripathi speaks with rare clarity about what truly builds an artist, long before fame, credits, and headlines.

She begins with the role her family and upbringing played in shaping her confidence and curiosity, and how being encouraged to pursue culture, hobbies, and stage experience early on helped her develop a strong inner foundation. She reflects on her journey into acting without chasing “big” or “small” parts, the discipline that came from repeated rejections, and how theatre in Mumbai became her training ground.

Shweta also shares her approach to character work. Why acting is emotionally demanding, why atmosphere matters, how directors guide the process, and why she wants the audience to see the character, not the actor. She speaks about the importance of homework, not repeating herself across roles, and how every life experience adds to an actor’s toolkit, as long as you keep exploring your own emotional world with honesty.

The conversation moves through her love for stage performance, her relationship with reading and learning, and her belief that story matters more than market value. She also talks about the artists who inspire her, the kind of choices she admires, and ends with a grounded message on staying human: keep learning, support the dreams around you, and contribute something meaningful to the world.
