Shweta Tripathi on expanding her creative journey as an actor & producer: “I don’t want to limit myself”
Shweta Tripathi has built a diverse body of work as an actor, with Golu Gupta becoming one of the most recognisable characters of her career. Alongside acting, she has, in recent years, also started exploring other aspects of storytelling, including producing and theatre.
Her debut feature as a producer, Mujhe Jaan Na Kaho Meri Jaan, was part of the WIF India x Gold House Scholarship at TIFF 2026, while her theatre production company, AllMyTea, has given her another space to engage with stories beyond the screen.
For Shweta, these different roles are not about moving away from acting but about understanding and participating in the storytelling process in different ways.
Speaking about this phase of her career, Shweta says, “Acting will always be a very important part of who I am, but I have also realised that I enjoy being involved in the process of storytelling in different ways. Producing, theatre and developing ideas give me a different perspective and allow me to learn something new each time. I don’t want to limit myself. If there is a story I believe in, I want to find different ways of being part of it, whether as an actor, a producer or through theatre.”
While Golu Gupta continues to be an important part of her acting journey, Shweta is also exploring what it means to be involved in different stages of creating a story. Her work across acting, producing and theatre reflects her growing interest in exploring different forms of storytelling while continuing to evolve as an artist.
