Did 바카라�Khatron Ke Khiladi바카라� Purely For Experience: Shivangi Joshi

바카라�Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai바카라� star Shivangi Joshi says she decided to participate in the stunt-based reality series "Khatron Ke Khiladi" to explore new facets of her personality.

The Pune-born actor entered the television industry in 2013 with 바카라�Khelti Hai Zindagi Aankh Micholi바카라� and followed it up with daily soaps 바카라�Beintehaa바카라�, 바카라�Love by Chance바카라�, and 바카라�Begusarai바카라�.

But it was her role of Naira Singhania in the long-running TV show 바카라�Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai바카라� that shot her to fame.

Joshi said she took up the offer to feature in the 12th season of "Khatron Ke Khiladi" as the show puts its participants in challenging situations.

바카라�When we do fiction shows it is a different experience, you live another person바카라�s life that is created for the screen. With a show like 바카라�Khatron Ke Khiladi바카라�, it is altogether a different experience.

"I am not playing a character here, it바카라�s all real. I am being myself, facing my fears, doing stunts, getting hurt, and crying for real without glycerine. I did the show purely for the experience which I will not get anywhere else," Joshi told PTI.

The 24-year-old said it is important to grow professionally and try out new things.

"As an actor, I want to grow and explore different platforms, irrespective of how it turns out,바카라� she added.

Joshi, however, is averse to the idea of getting into the house of "Bigg Boss", another popular reality show, as it is not in "sync with her real self".

The actor is one of 14 celebrity contestants on 바카라�Khatron Ke Khiladi 12바카라�. Others are Sriti Jha, Mohit Malik, Rubina Dilaik, Nishant Bhatt, Prateek Sahajpal, Tushar Kalia, Jannat Zubair, Mr Faizu, Kanika Mann, Erika Packard, Aneri Vajani, Chetna Pandey, and Rajiv Adatia.

The show premiered on Colors channel on Saturday.
