The Trip will change my image of small town girl: Shweta Tripathi

Talking more about her role, Shweta said: “My character Ananya has a greater influence of her friend Sanjana who is a stylist. In a way, she transforms Ananya from a self-conscious chubby girl to a fit and fine, carefree girl who practices yoga and follows a healthy diet. So, they celebrate their friendship throughout the journey.”

Starting her career with ad commercials, Shweta got her big break on small screen with the TV series “Kya Mast Hai Life” produced by Disney India for Disney Channel Original Series. Apart from acting, Shweta loves adventure sports and photography. However, she mostly explored her acting skill in independent cinema — whether it is “Masaan” or “Haraamkhor”.

Why did she accept a role in The Trip? “There were three categorical factors to accept the project. First Disney is producing it. I started my acting career with them and as a production house, they gave me popularity. So, I have complete trust on them.

“Secondly, I love acting and travelling; when you put them together – it is ‘The Trip’! When they came to me with the script and said that we will be shooting in Shillong, Bangkok and Koh Samui, I got so excited. In addition, I wanted to experience how it feels to work with three leading female co-actors on set. So, ‘The Trip’ is a fulfilling experience.”
