Kotha Bagarulokam

Shwetha Prasad also known as Shweta Basu Prasad is an Indian actress.

Early life

Prasad was born in Jamshedpur, Jharkand and moved to Mumbai when she was a child. Her mother’s ancestry stretches to West Bengal, thus she can read and write Bengali. Her dad is from Uttar Pradesh and later moved to Delhi and he has a strong background in the Theatre.

Career

Prasad started her career as a child actress in 2002 at the age of 11. She acted in dual role as Chunni and Munni in her debut film Makdee and got National Award for The Best Child Artiste for the same.

In 2005, she acted in Iqbal as Khadija and in Vaah! Life Ho To Aisi. In 2006 she acted in Ram Gopal Varma's Darna Zaroori Hai as Ashu. She recently debuted in Tollywood as a heroine in the film Kotha Bangaru Lokam which also casts Varun Sandesh as the hero. She is well acclaimed for her acting in all the languages.

With her naughty mannerisms … Eekada? (For Ekkkada) & ayyabaaboi nuvvala anaku naaku edholaa vundhi in Kotha Bangaru Lokam, the 17-year-old Shwetha Basu Prasad has become the naya heartthrob of our Inter and (degree) guys all over Andhra Pradesh. She is strikingly talkative, giving a fine expression of herself, her career and options in private life. Born to a UP father and Bengali mother, she truly reflects the cosmopolitan outlook of the new generation teens. She has the guts to say that she blind-dated a Punjabi guy. With KBL making a clean sweep of the theatres, the girl stands at the vantage point… say a hotcake for the filmmakers in Tollywood. In an exclusive interview to Idlebrain.com, she reveals that: “I am not Swapna of KBL in real life. But, quite opposite to the character.” Excerpts:
