Woh bahot bahot achi actor hai. Aur jab mai unko perform karte dekhti bhi thi toh mai sochti thi ke yaar yeh kitna natural, kaise kar lete hai. Tab mai bhi unko nuances choti choti cheeze pakadti thi or sochti thi k mai apne next scene mey I will try to do something like that, because I used to admire her."
Take a look at the entire interview of Shivangi Joshi here:
(Shweta Tiwari is an amazing actress and I would often wonder how could she perform so well. I used to observe her and take notes of certain nuances for my scenes because I used to admire her).
Shivangi Joshi added, "She is an amazing actress and a wonderful human being. Matlab kaafi achi rahi hamari bond. Woh aur meri mumma bhi kaafi baatein karte hai. Abhi kuch time se thoda, itna zyada we've not in touch but aisa bhi nahi hai ke we are not in touch. But she is there for me whenever I require like I can call her and tell her Shweta Di, this is the thing and the same goes for her."
(We shared a great bond. My mother also used to talk a lot with her. Off late we've not been in much contact but I know she'd be there for me whenever I require. I can call her and discuss things with her and the same goes for her).
Shivangi Joshi on how she got her name
In the candid interview, the Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actress revealed that she had a different name until her first standard. She narrated that her mother was a huge Manisha Koirala fan and in one of her favorite movies, Koirala was named Shivangi and that's why her mother decided to name her daughter Shivangi. However, in her family, bua (father's sister) was given the right to name the baby, and her bua named her Ishq.
Shivangi further narrated that when she was about to enter school, her grandmother felt that the name was quite unusual and people could mock her, and thus, her name was changed to Shivangi, which left her mother elated.
Shivangi Joshi on her initial years in the television industry
Prior to achieving success in the TV industry, Shivangi was a cast member of a show called Khelti Hai Zindagi Aankhmicholi. Her first day on set was challenging as she struggled with the technical jargon. The veteran actors on the show were critical of her, which was disheartening, but she was determined to improve and become proficient in her craft.
Shivangi mentioned that when she left the show, the actors who were criticizing her got emotional.
