After Hina Khan made her big Cannes Film Festival debut last year, now it’s the turn of another TV actress to walk down the red carpet of the prestigious film festival. Now, her onscreen daughter from the serial Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Naira aka Shivangi Joshi is going to make her debut at the Cannes Film Festival 2020.
The actress is making her big-screen debut with the film Our Own Sky that also stars Aditya Khurana and south Indian actress Asifa Haque. Along with Shivangi, Aditya and Asifa are also going to walk the red carpet at Cannes. Shivangi spoke exclusively to PeepingMoon about her Cannes debut. Watch her here:
Our Own Sky is a love story produced by Mohammed Nagaman Lateef. In an interaction with an entertainment portal, Nagaman opened about casting Shivangi for the film and said, “I roped in Shivangi Joshi for the film as besides her, I didn't find anyone who is capable enough to hold this role. I have already worked with many experienced actors so I wanted to go with someone new.”
He also added that since Shivangi has not done a lot of music albums or commercials, the break will give her the opportunity to come out of the space of daily soaps and open a path for her in film industry. Shivangi’s daily soap Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai had recently completed 11 years with 3000 episodes. The team had a huge celebration on the sets of the show. However, the show will soon take a shocking leap where Kartik and Naira will meet with a severe accident and thus Shivangi and her co-star Mohsin Khan won’t be a part of the show anymore.
