Actress Shweta Tripathi, who has traveled from ‘Masaan’ to ‘Mirzapur The Movie’, is today known more by the audience as ‘Golu’ than Shalu Gupta. In ‘Mirzapur’, her journey from a girl reading a book to taking up a gun and taking action has been liked by the audience a lot.

Entertainment News: Actress Shweta Tripathi created her own identity among the audience by playing the character of Golu Gupta in the web series ‘Mirzapur’. Golu’s journey in the series from a quiet and book-reading girl to a strong and fearless woman was quite impressive. Now Shweta, who is in the news for ‘Mirzapur The Movie’, has spoken openly in an interview about her experience with this character and its impact on her personal life.

According to Shweta, the character of Golu was not just an acting assignment for her. While playing this character for a long time, his emotions, anger, pain and mental struggle affected him too. The actress told that it took her a long time to completely come out of the character and for this she also took the help of therapy.

Journey from Shalu to Golu

Shweta Tripathi also received a lot of praise for her role of Shalu Gupta in ‘Masaan’. According to him, despite many differences in the personalities of Shalu and Golu, there are some similarities between the two characters.

Both characters have a deep connection to the books and both show strong personalities in their own ways. However, Golu’s personality appears to be more aggressive and determined than Shalu’s. Shweta believes that being strong for a woman is not limited to just showing physical strength. Confidence, knowledge, mental strength and everyday decisions also reflect the strength of a person.

The actress also revealed that the character of Golu made her understand the importance of physical and mental fitness. For him, the transformation of the character was not limited to just picking up weapons or taking action, but it was equally important to understand the mentality behind it.

What was the most difficult thing about the character of Golu?

The biggest challenge for Shweta in playing the character of Golu was her trauma and emotional pain. Many such incidents occur in Golu’s life, which completely change his personality and thinking. The actress said that having been associated with Golu for almost nine years, she had become emotionally attached to the character. It was not easy for him to portray on screen the mental state of Golu, who goes through constant anger, revenge, loneliness and difficult situations.

According to Shweta, while playing a character for a long time, its body language, way of speaking, behavior and emotional state can become a part of the actor’s daily routine. In Golu’s case, this experience was the most challenging for him.

Golu affected Shweta’s mental condition

Shweta revealed that the character of Golu affected her a lot on a psychological and emotional level. Due to playing the loneliness, anger and mental struggle present in the character for a long time, he found it difficult to come out of it. According to the actress, she had to work hard to separate herself from the role of Golu and even took the help of a therapist. This shows how challenging it can be for an actor to break out of a deep and long standing character.

Is Shweta afraid of typecasting?

After the popularity of Golu in ‘Mirzapur’, the question kept arising whether Shweta Tripathi should not be limited to a particular type of characters. However, the actress herself is not worried about being typecast. Shweta said that the audience has seen her different works even before ‘Mirzapur’. His characters in projects like ‘Masaan’, ‘Haramkhor’, ‘Lakhon Mein Ek’ and ‘Made in Heaven’ have been different from each other. That’s why he believes the audience understands the difference between the actor and his character.

She also clarified that she wants to do different types of projects in future also. It is more important for him to experiment with new roles and stories rather than repeating the same character again and again.
