Interestingly, his acting career began quite unexpectedly. While in his final year of college, he had professional photos taken simply for his Facebook profile.

In 2013, his portrayal of Ranvijay “Ranvi” Singh in “Ek Veer Ki Ardaas…Veera” solidified his position as a household name. He subsequently appeared in shows like “Cahaya Cinta Season 2” and “Internet Wala Love.”

Facts

His hobbies include reading, gaming, and watching movies. He wasn’t a stellar student, scoring only 33 in 12th-grade math, initially leading to a BA offer instead of commerce. His parents, however, steered him towards B.Com after a brief stint in BBA.

While his parents hoped he’d join the family business, Shivin aspired to a career that brought fame. He initially resisted the role in “Ek Veer Ki Ardaas…Veera,” but his mother, a fan of the show, convinced him.

He’s mentioned that if not acting, he would have pursued athletics or professional shooting. He learned mixed martial arts for his film debut, “Dheet Patangey” (2016). He also revealed that his “Suvreen Guggal” role required little preparation as it mirrored his personality.

A family health crisis (his father’s kidney failure in 2017) caused a break from his career, including his exit from “Cahaya Cinta Season 2.” He also turned down an offer to be on “Bigg Boss 13” in 2019 due to personal reasons. He describes himself as an introvert and values his privacy and loves his pet dog.
