The Masaan and Haraamkhor actress Shweta Tripathi has been applauded for her various roles she has donned on screen. The actress was recently in news for bagging an important role in Amazon Prime’s next, Mirzapur which is being produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani. The series has a rural setting in the north of India as its background. A crime drama genre, a first of its kind in India, is being shot extensively in the heartland of India, Benares.
The show also stars Vikrant Massey and the duo has been taking breaks from their hectic shoot schedule to explore Benaras. The city is known for its impeccable history and religious significance. The duo have been taking this opportunity to truly explore the city and learn much about it.
They were often seen visiting different places in Benaras and binging on local street foods. They both share the same passion, they both love eating, reading and traveling. This is not the first time Shweta is shooting in the holy land, her first film Masaan was extensively shot in Benares as well. Coming back to the city with another project that talks about the city itself surely makes her nostalgic all over again.
When asked Shweta she said,
“Benaras always brings back Masaan memories and hence on the day we had an early pack up, I took Massey straight to the cafe where Vicky and I had our famous ‘Ab tou hum friends ban gaye na’ scene from Masaan. I always sit in the same spot and order the same things, cold coffee and a margarita pizza.”
