Shivangi Joshi has come a long way from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai to Balika Vadhu 2 and now to Khatron Ke Khiladi. Today, the actress is unquestionably everyone's favourite. Shivangi's journey to her present position, however, was definitely not simple. The actress recently spoke candidly about the first day of shooting on the sets of her first television show, revealing how she was made fun of by more experienced actresses. Shivangi also discussed how people used to claim that she was chosen for the part only on the basis of her appearance.
Speaking to a news portal, Joshi said, “They said something which hurt me a lot and I went into my vanity van and cried a lot. They said, ‘Pata nahi Kahan se le aate hain, Sirf shakal dekh ke le aate hain, acting toh aati nahi, Humara time waste ho raha hai.’ My mother also overheard it but she didn’t show. But later my mother sat with me and explained. She asked me to work hard, do it sincerely and they will also appreciate it one day. I started to work hard and gave my best. I remember on the last day of the shoot, the same people cried a lot that I am leaving the show. I was very hurt by the words."
Meanwhile, Shivangi Joshi is currently a contestant on Rohit Shetty’s show Khatron Ke Khiladi.
