In a recent interview, well-known TV industry actress Shiny Doshi has talked about all aspects of her career, from the initial struggles to marriage and personal life. She told how she established herself in this industry without any film background and what challenges she faced. I wanted to become a doctor
In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Shiny Doshi told that it was not easy for her to step into the world of acting. Shiny told that she never thought that she would become an actress. Shiny said, “Mother always wanted me to become an actress. I wanted me to become a doctor. She further said, “I started with small roles. People started recognizing me from shows like ‘Saraswatichandra’ and ‘Jamai Raja’. In every project, I tried to do justice to my role and also got the love of the audience. This is my real success.” Along with career, Shiny also spoke openly about her personal life. She said, “Today I am married. My husband loves me a lot. He makes me feel very secure. Father used to commit domestic violence against mother
Shiny told that her childhood was not very beautiful. She told that her father used to commit domestic violence against her mother. She said, ‘My father used to raise his hand on my mother. My mother was kicked and punched and I used to see all this with my own eyes. I used to feel very scared at that time. That is why I used to lock myself in my room. I was a child, but I used to see everything. Papa had left us. I had to arrange my school and college fees myself. There was no one to take care of us. At that time I had to take care of the family like a son.’ Family said- ‘She is not an actress, she is a prostitute’
Shiny told that when she started modeling and acting, she had to face taunts from her own family members. She told that my own family members called me a prostitute. They said that her mother is making her act, she does modeling, she must be a prostitute. But I never replied. My success became my answer. When Saraswati Chandra came on TV, everyone’s mouth was shut. Shiney also revealed that when she was 16 years old, her father called her a prostitute. She said, ‘My print shoots used to go on very late in Ahmedabad – sometimes it would be 2 or 3 in the night. Mother was with me in every shoot, I was just 16 then and when we came home, it was not like he would ask, ‘Are you okay? Are you safe?’ He would say bad words – like, ‘Are you taking your daughter till 3 in the night? Are you taking her to do business?’ ‘Saraswati Chandra’ gave her recognition
Shiney came to Mumbai in 2012. She had only 15,000 rupees in her bank account. She started modeling with small ads in Ahmedabad. She worked for ?3000 per day shoot. Then he got Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s show ‘Saraswati Chandra’ and it was this show that gave him recognition.
