Khatron Ke Khiladi 12 contestant Shivangi Joshi is one of the most loved and popular stars of Indian TV. But she didn’t have it easy. Shivangi Joshi left a very comfortable life in Dehradun and came to Mumbai with her mother. The actress was in the ninth standard. In an interview with ETimes TV, she shared how she faced harsh criticism in her early days. It looks like she would give four to six auditions a day. She has revealed how she was clueless about some of the jargon on TV sets, and would repeatedly ask the director. Although the director didn’t scold her or make any comments, the senior actors on the sets weren’t that nice.
She told ETimes that they had said something that hurt her immensely. Shivangi Joshi reveals that she went to her toilet car and cried a lot. She told ETimes TV: “Pata nahi Kahan se le aate hain, Sirf shakal dekh ke le aate hain, acting toh aati nahi, Humara time waste ho raha hai.” It appears that Shivangi Joshi’s mother who was with her heard the comments but did not respond. She says her mother told her to work hard and sincerely. She told ETimes that the same people cried when she left the show. Shivangi Joshi told ETimes, “I remember on the last day of filming, the same people cried a lot that I left the show. I was very hurt by the words.”
She reveals that her original plan was to become a choreographer, but people were making fun of the dream in her hometown. This made her determined to come to Mumbai and try her luck. Shivangi Joshi said she and her mom would ask people about audition spots. She said she auditioned before she was concerned about the role or age group. Looks like she got her first break after six months. It was for a Tamil ad.
