We tied reaching out to Shivangi but she did not attend our calls. Shivangi entered the show back in 2016, around the time that Hina Khan left the show as Akshara. Shivangi, as Naira, quickly made a place for herself in the show's fan base's hearts and her on-screen jodi with Mohsin Khan is one of the best on-screen jodis that Indian television has, in today's times.
