Shivangi Joshi on facing criticism in her initial days: I was mocked by two senior actors

Shivangi Joshi is one of the most talented and successful actors in the industry. The actress made her TV debut with Khelti Hai Zindagi Aankh Micholi. She later went on to star in shows like Beintehaa, Begusarai, Yeh Hai Aashiqui and more. Shivangi has come a long way in her career. In a recent interview, Shivangi recalled her initial struggling days and talked about how she was mocked by two senior actors.

Shivangi said, “I don’t like to name the actors but yes, I have faced hard criticism. It was my first day on the shoot of my first show and it was immediately after doing ads. When I was giving my shot, my director asked me to give the camera-look and as I was completely new I thought I have to look into the camera and say lines. I had no knowledge. He said cut, he told me that I don’t have to look into the camera.”

The actress added, “I still was clueless and I went and asked my director. He was very supportive and he explained everything to me very sweetly. But before that there were a few senior actors from the show who were sitting there and started making remarks.”

Shivangi went on to add, “They said something which hurt me a lot and I went into my vanity van and cried a lot. They told, “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.”

On the work front, Shivangi is currently a part of Khatron Ke Khiladi 12. The actress has been winning hearts by doing stunts.
