"When I started shooting for 'Comedy Circus', it was very difficult for me to give instant punches because there were many things which were not written in the script. I had won that show because of Kapil and I didn't have a role to play. But with the course of time, I learnt and I am still learning," Shweta, 33, said.
"I believe that comedy shows are stress busters because people don't have to follow the show for its continuity or for the link of the episode," she said.
On choosing Sunil Grover's 'Mad in India' over Kapil Sharma's show 'Comedy Nights with Kapil', she said, "I felt that all the characters in Kapil's show are well established and the show is also getting a good response. If there is an introduction of a new character then there is no guarantee that it will survive or not.
"This show 'Mad in India' is new and had an interesting character of Katrina Mishra for me. So when I told Kapil and his team about my decision (to do 'Mad in India'), they were okay with it," Shweta said.
