Shivangi Joshi’s guilty pleasure: Cartoons, Barbie films, doing absolutely nothing

Mumbai, Jan 21
Television actress Shivangi Joshi has revealed her simple guilty pleasures, saying that she still enjoys binge-watching cartoons she loved as a child.



The actress on the podcast titled Honestly, Why Not by Balaji Telefilms shared that shows like Oswald, Noddy, and Doraemon continue to be her comfort watch even today.

Along with cartoons, Shivangi also enjoys watching Barbie movies, saying these feel-good choices never really go out of her life.

Asked if she has a guilty pleasure or a hobby that she indulges in secretly, the actress said: “Guilty pleasure? Yes, I do. I mean, I binge-watch.. And that too cartoons. Jab main choti thi, jo main tab cartoons dekhti thi. I like watching Oswald, Noddy, and Doraemon.”

“Yeah, even now. Aur Barbie movies aur yeh saari cheezein main abhi bhi dekhti hu. And also, when I'm not doing anything, I like to do nothing. Sleep. And do nothing. Just be in my room and do nothing. Kuch nahi karna hai film mujhe kabhi,” she added.

The 27-year-old actress began her television career with a cameo appearance in Parvarrish – Kuchh Khattee Kuchh Meethi and later made her full-fledged acting debut in 2013 with Khelti Hai Zindagi Aankh Micholi.

The actress was then seen in shows such as Beintehaa, Begusarai, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. She then portrayed Anandi Chaturvedi in Balika Vadhu 2 and Barsatein – Mausam Pyaar Ka.

She was recently seen in “Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 4,” the fourth installment of the Bade Achhe Lagte Hain franchise. It featured Harshad Chopda and Shivangi. The show explores themes of healing from past trauma, trust, and the messy reality of love when intertwined with revenge, with plot points involving fake marriage complications and parental disapproval.

In the same podcast, the actress spoke about her take on love and dating.

“According to me, what truly matters is the person, the respect, understanding, love, and values they bring into a relationship. The profession really doesn’t matter,” said Shivangi.
