The actress won several praises for her role in Begusarai. She was seen opposite Vishal Aditya Singh. Shivangi played the role of Poonam in the show.
However, not many are aware that Shiangi's on-screen character was inspired by a popular Bollywood diva Manisha Koirala from the film Lajja. Yes, you heard it right!
Shivangi had quoted, "After Poonam marries the guy she is not too fond of, her characteristics undergo a drastic change. From this simple, timid girl, she becomes someone who fights for her rights. She wants to take charge of her life, and gives it back to those who have done her wrong. This phase of her character is inspired by the role that Manisha played in Lajja. I’ve seen the movie, and I really liked her guts. I’ve been trying to imbibe her attitude in the show.”
