Shweta Tiwari on Tamannaah Bhatia’s support on the sets of Do You Wanna Partner: "Moment of pure support and sisterhood"

Although she has portrayed emotional and strong leads in the past, playing Laila required a rawness she had not yet encountered.

Although Shweta Tiwari has long been renowned for her distinct style of combining elegance and toughness, her performance in Do You Wanna Partner on Prime Video took her to new heights.

Although she has portrayed emotional and strong leads in the past, playing Laila required a rawness she had not yet encountered.

She faced a lot of difficulty in one scene during filming, where she had to use a strong profanity to remain loyal to her role. She was clearly shaken and apprehensive at this point.

But in what turned out to be one of Tiwari's most memorable on-set moments, her co-star Tamannaah Bhatia stepped in to assist.

Shweta Tiwari recounted the assistance she received, “There was a moment when I had to deliver a scene with strong language—I had to abuse, say a proper 'gaali'—and honestly, I was shaking. I just couldn’t get myself to do it. I kept trying, but somehow it just wasn’t coming out. That’s when Tamannaah came over. She held my hand and started shouting that one word out loud with me, pushing me to let go and feel the moment. She kept saying, ‘Say it, ma'am, say it!’ She didn’t have to do that, but she did anyway—and that moment of pure support and sisterhood, I’ll never forget. It was truly special for me.”
