Shivshakti, who plays Bebo in Sabki Ladli Bebo, has just got her Standard 10 board exam results and she secured a first class. The young actress spoke to us in detail about her marks, her career and her desire to attend regular college.
Shivshakti, who did the CBSC (Central Board of Secondary Education) system, says, "I got a first class, 67%. I was not expecting much as my exams didn't go too well. I was shooting for the show right before my exams. My parents also told me that I should not take tension about what percentage I get. They said they would be happy with any marks. But I am not happy with my score. I feel that I could have surely done better than this."
The actress wants to continue with her education and plans to get into the Arts stream. But she says that admissions are posing a problem for her, adding, "There are many issues coming in the way of CBSC students as they only get 10% preference. Even so, I think I will get into a college. I will try to get admission for a regular course in Navi Mumbai from a special quota reserved for artists. I want to take Arts to learn language and logic. However, I am not very good in other subjects under the Arts stream such as history and geography."
Shivshakti shoots for her show 20-25 days a month, yet she is convinced that she will be able to manage regular classes as well. She says, "I managed with my shooting schedule and studies before so I hope I can manage with a regular course now. I do not want to do correspondence so I will try to attend lectures. I have not thought about what to do in the future, let me first clear my 12th exams and then I will decide."
Shivshakti's costars and unit members threw her a party after her results were announced. But since she was not happy with her marks, she did not want to throw a bash for her friends and didn't even ask her parents for a gift.
