Some may call him the SRK of the small screen... well for his image of the ultimate chocolate lover boy. Shakti began his acting career with small roles in shows like Sshh Phir Koi Hai and Dill Mill Gayye. But the role that got him noticed was his cameo in Tere Liye, followed by his role in Pavitra Rishta. Shakti went on to do a lot of special appearances before Meri Aashiqui Tumse Hi happened to him. And since then, there has been no turning back for the actor, who became the ultimate lover boy for all the female audience out there. He was last seen in Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka. Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka Review: Shakti Arora – Aditi Sharma’s Intense, Sizzling Chemistry and Drashti Dhami’s Damsel in Distress Avatar Makes This Show Worth a Watch.
