Just a couple of weeks back actress Shweta Basu Prasad made it to the national headlines over her involvement in an ambivalent social situation. But now it seems that the aspiring actress, who has also worked as a child actress in the film ‘Makdee’, has made peace with the scandal and moved on to rebuild her life again.
According to reports, Shweta has now landed herself a job as a script consultant with the famous Phantom production house which is helmed by noted filmmakers Madhu Mantena, Anurag Kashyap, Vikas Bahl and Vikramaditya Motwani.
Confirming the news Shweta said, “Yes, I am a script consultant at Phantom. I am essentially a curator there, assigned the job of going through potentially promising scripts. It’s a job I like doing as it is helping me to grow as an actor when I read the scripts.”
What’s more, Shweta said that she would have this job until she resumes her acting career. Meanwhile, there were reports of her landing a role in filmmaker Hansal Mehta’s film but when she was asked about it, Shweta declined the news. In fact she said, “I came across a report that I had been signed for a documentary by Mr Mehta. How can I play a role in a documentary? The person who wrote this obviously has no clue what he was talking about.”
But the aspiring actress did admit about meeting Hansal to show him her documentary. “I’ve made a documentary entitled Roots on Hindustani classical music. I took it to show it to Hansal Mehta. His son Jay was also there in his office. They seemed to like my effort. Beyond that there is nothing. Mr Mehta has not offered me a role.”
When the same was asked to Hansal Mehta, talking about Shweta he replied, “Shweta’s documentary on Hindustani classical music which I saw, is proof of her talent. I am most certainly going to work with her. But I haven’t decided on the project.”
