I had auditioned for ‘Roadies’ thrice in the past, but did not make it to the show. But failing thrice did not dampen my spirits. I took the challenge head-on and auditioned again, only with the intention of winning the show. And I did win it.Shweta Mehta, Winner, Roadies Rising (IANS)
According to reports, Shweta has already started getting feelers from the entertainment industry but she is keen on focussing on her passion - fitness, at the moment.
Speaking to the press after her win, Shweta said that she was thrilled about living up to Neha Dhupia’s expectations.
This definitely feels amazing. ‘Roadies’ is a cult show and being associated with such a show and winning it feels out of the world. Neha ma’am wanted a girl to win this season and I feel proud that I didn’t disappoint her.Shweta Mehta, Winner, Roadies Rising (IANS)
