Facts

Shivya enjoys traveling, listening to music, and dancing. She excelled academically and in dance as a student. A significant experience involved a period of weight gain in class 7, leading to body-shaming and a school change. This motivated her to focus on fitness.

Her decision to pursue modeling initially clashed with her family’s wishes, but her success in winning Miss Shimla 2013 gained their support. Her first audition was in Shimla, and securing a role in “Humsafars” despite initial self-doubt was a pivotal moment. During her early struggles in Mumbai, she independently financed her life through catalogue shoots.

She met Kinshuk Vaidya on the set of “Ek Rishta Saajhedari Ka.” She aspires to climb Mount Everest. In 2017, she and Kinshuk Vaidya received the Kalakar Award for Rising Star. Her desire to portray mythological characters fulfilled a wish to please her parents, leading to roles as Radha in “RadhaKrishn,” Goddess Lakshmi in “Vikram Betaal Ki Rahasya Gatha,” and Goddess Sita in “Ram Siya Ke Luv Kush.”
