After a three-year break from television, Shiny Doshi is set to return to the small screen in a completely new avatar with the reality show The 50. In an exclusive chat with mid-day, the actor spoke candidly about her hiatus, her decision to step into unscripted territory, and what audiences can expect from the “real Shiny” this time around.
Shiny revealed that the break after Pandya Store was not entirely planned but intentional in terms of waiting for the right opportunity. “So honestly I’ll tell you I never thought about it. After Pandya, I’ve been waiting for almost two and a half years for the right show to kind of fall into my lap,” she shared. When The 50 came her way, it instantly felt right. “I just thought this is something which I can do and something where I can actually connect with the audiences and kind of show what real Shiny is.”
