With huge aspirations, many actors and actresses start their journey in Indian cinema. However, not many can keep up with this fast-paced industry. On the other hand, some make it big in the industry. Today, we will discuss an actress who made a name for herself in the industry. However, one allegation ruined her career, and now this actress rarely makes an appearance on the big screen. If you are wondering who we are talking about, it is Shweta Basu Prasad. Who is Shweta Basu Prasad?
Shweta Basu Prasad started her career as a child artist. When she turned 17, she gained massive recognition from the Telugu audience. After the success of Kott Bangaru Lokam, Shweta never looked back. As the movie turned out to be a blockbuster, it changed Shweta's fate. Following the success of her film, she worked in different films including Casco, Ride, and Kalwar King, but only Ride turned out to be a huge hit. Shweta Basu Prasad's Allegation
Meanwhile, Shweta Basu Prasad's career took a major hit after she was embroiled in a prostitution scandal. The controversy led to a significant drop in film offers for the actress. Although she was eventually given a clean chit, the damage to her career was already done. Following the case, Shweta accepted a few projects, but they did little to revive her standing in the industry.
After getting a clean chit, it was not easy for Shweta to find good roles. Later, she moved on to OTT projects and has been a part of them in recent times.
Shweta played the lead role in the thriller film Makdi, released in 2002. She portrayed twin sisters named Chunni and Munni. Shabana Azmi and Makrand Deshpande also acted in this film. Shweta Basu Prasad received the National Award for her performance in Makdi.
