Paras Arora: Paras Arora and Shivani Badoni go chikan shopping in Lucknow

TV actor Paras Arora, who shot to fame from the show ‘Veer Shivaji‘, was recently in the city accompanied by Dehradun based Shivani Badoni, who is acting with him in her debut show ‘Baawle Utaawle‘. While Paras has visited Lucknow earlier, this was Shivani’s first visit to the city. “I remember it was 2001 or 2002, I was a kid, 7 ya 8 saal ka hounga jab mein last Lucknow aaya tha,” says Paras, adding, “I had a dance performance here in which I had won the first prize.”

After fulfilling their professional commitments, both Paras and Shivani went shopping for chikan garments. “I like lucknowi chikankari clothes very much. Honestly speaking I don’t have much knowledge about this art, I have taken Shivani’s help in selecting the clothes. Now I just hope that whatever I have bought, meri mummy ko woh pasand aaye.”
Shivani, who was well acquainted with the embroidery, says, “I’m very fond of chikan suits. Although I have never been to Lucknow, my father has brought suits for me several times from Lucknow.”
Shivani says, “I loved shopping for the stuff myself this time. I was quite surprised to find that such good quality chikan garments are available here for a reasonable price. That’s why I have bought several kurtas for myself,”

Although studying to be an engineer, Shivani was surprised when she was selected to act in this show. “I literally cried when I first came to know that I have been selected for the show. My father was extremely happy for me, in fact, all my family members were super happy,” Ask her about how acting happened given that she was studying engineering, the actress replies, “I always wanted to be an actress from the beginning. Engineering happened because my father had insisted that I have a professional degree. In fact, during the course of my studies I always pushed my limits and worked hard simultaneously to become an actress, I had given plenty of auditions and worked really hard because I wanted to be an actress.”
