Television
actor
Siddharth
Shukla,
who
plays
Shiv
in
the
superhit
TV
show
Bhalika
Vadhu,
says
he
did
other
shows,
but
Balika
Vadhu
has
been
a
turning
point
in
his
career.
In
the
show
he
is
married
to
protagonist
Anandi.
"It
has
been
a
turning
point.
I
also
feel
that
shows,
which
I
had
otherwise
done,
those
characters
have
been
loved.
But
the
whole
viewership
of
Balika
Vadhu
is
more
than
all
shows
of
mine
put
together.
The
show
has
a
lot
of
reach
and
that
has
worked
for
me," he
told.
Siddharth
has
been
part
of
shows
like
Babul
Ka
Aangann
Chootey
Na,
Jaane
Pehchaane
Se
Ye
Ajnabbi,
Love
U
Zindagi.
Initially,
he
was
nervous
about
working
on
the
show
with
the
cast
which
has
already
carved
a
niche
for
themselves.
He
made
his
entry
in
the
show
as
a
government
officer
who
falls
in
love
with
Anandi,
who
has
been
divorced
by
her
first
husband
Jagdish,
and
eventually
marries
her.
"It
had
put
a
lot
of
pressure
on
me
when
I
started.
Also,
I
wasn't
there
from
the
start
of
the
show.
Everyone
was
set
and
huge
in
star
value.
I
was
nowhere
close
to
them
as
actor.
There
was
a
lot
of
pressure.
But
those
people
were
so
welcoming
and
never
made
me
feel
inferior,"
he
said.
Shukla
will
be
seen
showing
his
dancing
skills
on
Colors' dance
reality
show
Jhalak
Dikhhla
Jaa
and
takes
it
as
a
crash
course
in
dance.
"I
love
to
dance,
but
the
flip
side
is
that
I
can't
dance.
It
took
me
a
while
to
get
convinced
whether
I
should
be
a
part
of
it
or
not," said
the
actor
who
already
has
a
lot
on
his
plate.
"I
am
doing
a
show
for
which
I
have
to
shoot
regularly.
But
then
I
knew
that
I
will
never
get
a
chance
to
just
learn
dance
and
this
is
going
to
be
an
amazing
crash
course.
Since
it
is
a
competition,
you
would
try
to
do
it
perfectly,"
he
added.
Talking
about
his
experience
on
the
sets
of
Jhalak
Dikhhla
Jaa,
the
actor
added,
"I
am
not
a
dancer
and
for
me,
to
learn
the
art
is
fun.
It
gives
you
the
confidence
that
you
can
dance.
But
then
you
have
to
do
different
forms
every
time."
