Shivangi Joshi, who is currently seen as
Anandi
in Balika Vadhu season 2, recently spoke exclusively to ETimes TV and shared the reason behind accepting a new show immediately after wrapping her role in
Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai
.
The actress, who played the character of
Naira
for 5 years, stated that she can never forget her character Naira and will always cherish it. She stated while Naira is close to her heart, with
Balika Vadhu 2
, she's stepping ahead in life.
"I don’t want to ever forget the character of Naira. The role is extremely close to my heart and it will always be. The story of Naira and
Kaira
will always be special to me and close to my heart. I don’t want to ever forget the character. As far as the role of Anandi and Balika Vadhu 2 is concerned, as an actor I want to do different roles and explore new things. I want to progress in life. People loved me as Naira and now I am playing a new role of Anandi and I know that all my well-wishers will give all the love. Naira is close to my heart and with Balika Vadhu 2, I am stepping ahead in life," said she.
Talking about what made her say yes to Balika Vadhu season 2, Shivangi said, "The moment, makers narrated the story to me, I really liked it. It was one of the reasons to say yes to the show. It also gives a very strong message. Also, I had a very positive feeling when I heard the story. I had a gut feeling that doing this show was a good decision."
Shivangi shared that she is attracted to good stories and not the medium. "I want to do good projects and the medium doesn’t matter to me. Television, OTT and films all have their audience. I don’t think that any medium is small or big and I know everyone wants to move ahead in life and that’s the reason they look forward to doing films. But for me I am open to good projects and the medium doesn’t matter to me," asserted the actress.
When asked if she will have reservations when it comes to doing scenes beyond her comfort zone, the actress said, "I haven’t ever thought about doing shows on OTT because I am not doing any project on it. When I am offered a subject I’ll see how much I will be able to go beyond my comfort level. I think I'll definitely have my set of reservations but honestly I am not thinking about it," concluded Shivangi.
