In an earlier interview Shweta said that it's difficult to survive in showbiz without a godfather. "I've been an outsider, who has grown up in the industry because people have seen my work. But, yes it is slightly difficult as you have to keep reminding people and go for auditions. I know a lot of people. I keep getting auditions once in a while. But being an outsider, it's quite tough to make a mark in the industry," she told IANS.
Chandra Nandini features Rajat Tokas as Chandragupta Maurya while Shweta plays as Nandini, whose father Dhana Nanda was killed by Chandragupta Maurya.
