After having worked in a short film and two web series’, Shambhavi Singh has now ventured into TV with Rajan Shahi’s Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai (Yrkkh). She plays the role in this long-running TV drama. The actor considers Yrkkh as the landmark in her career and hopes to entertain the fans of the show in the coming times.

“I’m a firm believer of destiny & have always felt that ‘when you truly want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve it’ as said in my favourite film Om Shanti Om.

It was a sombre occasion, a memorial meeting to remember a veteran filmmaker who was no more. And yet, speaker after speaker made references to the sense of humour that Mani Kaul possessed, and related jokes he used to tell, sometimes at his own expense.
