Cat-eyed beauty Shweta Kumar made her debut opposite Himesh Reshammiya in the much-hyped Karzzzz, a remake of the 1980 hit film Karz.
In the film, she stepped into the shoes of Tina Munim, who played the same character in Karz.
For a newcomer, the actress has earned some decent feedback, though she still has a long way to go before she establishes herself as a good actor.
However, being the daughter of producer-director Indra Kumar — who has hits such as Dil, Beta, Raja and Dhamaal under his belt — the actress may soon be adopted by bigger banners. Kumar will be seen next in her father's forthcoming film.
Favourite holiday destination: Hawaii
Hawaii is the first place that comes to mind when I think of taking a break. The spotless beaches there are just out of this world and you can soak in the serenity in one of the many islands there. Hawaii is not only about beautiful beaches but also amazing mountains and national parks, which take you on a different trip altogether.
The best part is that despite being in the lap of nature, urban life is just a trip to the downtown area of Honolulu (Hawaii's capital) away. There you can enjoy some great food and shopping amid clean, uncrowded streets.
Memorable moments in Hawaii
There is a beautiful hut located near the beach in Hawaii. Whenever I think of that, I feel the urge to just pack my bags and head there.
What not to do in Hawaii
Do not fool around in the water if you are not a good swimmer. Even if you are, be cautious, because there are sudden high tides.
Three must-haves on a holiday
iPod, mobile phone and loads of dollars.
Any other favourite destination?
I have enjoyed visiting South Africa. I think it's a beautiful country with lots of holiday options for people — right from fast-paced city life to exotic beaches to game reserves.
