Exclusive - Shivani Gosain: Working birthdays are the best
Television actress Shivani Gosain, who is currently seen in Rishton Se Badi Gauri, will be spending her birthday this year on set — and she wouldn't have it any other way. 'I feel working birthdays are the best,' she shares, reflecting on the significance of the day and how her celebration style is rooted more in simplicity and gratitude than in grand parties. 'I'm not someone who celebrates much or throws big parties,' Shivani says. 'For me, it's all about spending quality time with my loved ones — my parents, my daughter, my sisters, and my sister's two little girls. I celebrate for them and with them.' Having been part of notable shows like Kasautii Zindagii Kay (as Varsha Bhabhi), Rang Badalti Odhani, Love You Zindagi, Saraswatichandra, Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki, Naagin 5, Pratigya 2, and making memorable cameos in popular series like Anupamaa and Kahaan Hum Kahaan Tum, Shivani has carved out a space for herself as a reliable, versatile actor in the television industry. Recalling her most memorable birthday, Shivani gets emotional. 'Two years back, I went to Kedarnath especially for my birthday. I was at the shrine on the 21st, and that has been my best and most blessed birthday till today.' However, this year marks a poignant shift in her life — it will be her first birthday without her beloved mother. 'Every year, my birthday started with my mother's call or message, or she used to be with me. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mensualités: Bonne nouvelle pour les propriétaires étouffés par les crédits Bons plans propriétaires En savoir plus Undo I lost her nine months back, and this year I will miss her the most,' Shivani says with a heavy heart. 'Without my mother, my birthday is incomplete and now always will be.' Despite the deep loss, Shivani finds solace in continuing to work and carry her mother's blessings forward. 'I've celebrated my birthday on set a few times in the past, and I truly feel working birthdays are the best. This year is going to be one more blessed birthday — I'll be on set again.' As she steps into another year, her wish remains beautifully simple and heartfelt: 'I just want to be blessed with a stress-free, healthy, peaceful, and satisfying working life — till my last breath. My mother's blessings and her gifts will always be the most treasured part of my birthday.' Naagin 3 actor Pearl V Puri wishes Ekta Kapoor on her birthday |Exclusive|

Rishton Se Bandhi Gauri: Shivani Gosain talks about her double role, says 'From Kamini to Mandakini, my journey has been full of surprises'
Shivani Gosain, known for her impactful performances on television, is currently making waves with her double role in the new show Rishton Se Bandi Gauri. Reflecting on her career and this unexpected turn in her latest project, she says, 'From Kamini to Mandakini , my journey has been full of surprises.' Having been part of notable shows like Kasautii Zindagii Kay (as Varsha Bhabhi), Rang Badalti Odhani, Love You Zindagi, Saraswatichandra, Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki, Naagin 5, Pratigya 2, and cameos in Anupamaa and Kahaan Hum Kahaan Tum, Shivani has carved out a space for herself as a reliable, versatile actor. In Rishton Se Bandi Gauri, Shivani plays Kamini — a negative, selfish widow, and the eldest daughter of the Bundela family. 'She's manipulative and only wants wealth and power for herself and her son. She even goes as far as planning her nephew's murder for property,' she shares. But the real twist comes when the show takes a supernatural turn. 'Mandakini was once the bahu of the same family, who was burnt alive for not bearing a son. Kamini pretends to be her to scare her mother and gain control, but the actual spirit of Mandakini ends up possessing Kamini's body. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pamätná bankovka 500 Kčs Národná Pokladnica Nakupovať teraz Undo Kamini's soul gets trapped in a photo frame — and that's when I began playing both roles.' The double role has been well-received. 'The feedback has been amazing. People didn't expect the twist, and they're loving Mandakini's track in particular.' Her look as Mandakini is striking. 'I wear a red saree with full jewelry and a long plait — the chudail ki choti. Mandakini is extremely possessive about her choti because it holds her power and identity. It's almost like its own character.' As for the production experience, Shivani is all praise. 'The production house is professional, respectful, and very actor-friendly. The entire team — producer, director, creatives — is supportive. It's a blessing to be working with them.' From sharp-tongued Kamini to the vengeful spirit of Mandakini, Shivani's latest roles showcase the range and unpredictability that have defined her television journey.
