Shivangi Joshi’s plans post lockdown

Shivangi Joshi needs no introduction! She is known for playing the character of Naira Goenka on Star Plus’ long-running show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, which has made her a household name.

The actress is currently enjoying her long break from work. Since all production activities have come to a halt in the wake of the Coronavirus outbreak, Shivangi is spending time with her family in Dehradun. But once day-to-day life returns to normalcy, she has some big plans that she wants to execute, including her Cannes debut and setting-up her own YouTube channel.


Sharing some interesting details, Shivangi Joshi tells an entertainment portal, “I have been planning these things for quiet some time now, but they were not falling into place. Earlier, I had no time. Now when I have enough time, there are so many restrictions that one cannot go out and do this or that. Even if you want to do something, you don’t have enough resources for that. There are so many restrictions right now, so I am waiting for this lockdown to get over and then definitely super soon I will make my own YouTube channel.”

Since the entire world is grappling with the Coronavirus pandemic, the cancellation of the Cannes Film Festival 2020 might be on the anvil. When asked about the same, Joshi said, “As of now, safety and security is the most important thing and nothing is beyond that. Honestly, right now I am just waiting for this lockdown to get over and life to get back to normal. That’s it. I am not thinking anything beyond that. And we can talk about Cannes post that.”
