Shivangi
Joshi,
who
is
currently
seen
as
a
contestant
on
Khatron
Ke
Khiladi
12,
is
one
of
the
most
loved
and
popular
stars
of
Indian
Television.
The
actress
amassed
a
huge
fan
following
after
she
played
the
lead
role
of
Naira
in
Yeh
Rishta
Kya
Kehlata
Hai.
However,
the
road
to
success
hasn’t
been
an
easy
one
for
Shivangi
as
the
actress
faced
harsh
criticism
in
her
early
days.
Joshi
recently
opened
up
about
her
hardships
including
being
mocked
by
a
few
senior
actors
on
the
sets
of
her
first
TV
show.
In
an
interview
with
ETimes
TV,
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.”
The
actress
confessed
that
she
did
not
understand
the
jargon
used
on
a
TV
set
but
her
director
was
very
supportive
and
he
explained
everything
to
me
very
sweetly.
She
went
on
to
add,
“But
before
that
there
were
a
few
senior
actors
from
the
show
who
were
sitting
there
and
started
making
remarks.
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.”
The
actress
said
that
her
mother
later
sat
her
down
and
asked
her
to
work
hard,
do
it
sincerely
and
they
will
also
appreciate
it
one
day.
Joshi
further
shared
that
she
started
to
work
hard
and
gave
her
best.
She
even
remembered
on
the
last
day
of
the
shoot,
the
same
people
cried
a
lot
that
she
was
leaving
the
show.
However,
Shivangi
confessed
being
very
hurt
by
the
words.
Meanwhile,
in
the
same
interview,
Joshi
revealed
that
she
left
a
very
comfortable
life
in
Dehradun
and
came
to
Mumbai
with
her
mother
to
pursue
a
career
in
the
entertainment
industry.
The
actress
was
in
the
ninth
standard
and
also
shared
that
she
would
give
four
to
six
auditions
in
a
day.
