Earlier, I was calm and quiet, but now I have become bold and outgoing. I have also become more active on social media,” she says.Jigyasa, who played an Agra girl on 'Thapki Pyar Ki' and shot for 10 days in the city, says she knows every lane in Agra. “I shot for my first show in Agra and that’s why the city is so close to my heart.

It was so wonderful shooting in the city,” she says.Jigyasa Singh in a still from her debut show 'Thapki Pyar Ki', which was based in AgraAsk her if she felt pressurised to start afresh in a new genre when her co-actors have been part of the first edition of the show, and she says, “It is challenging to join a show in its second edition as you have to create space for yourself, while all the other actors have already established themselves on the show. But appearing on the same channel worked for me as people already know me as Thapki, and now I just need to convince them as Dhwani.”Did she find it difficult living in Mumbai after moving from Jaipur? She says, “It is not difficult for me to live in Mumbai as my family has moved with me. I know, it is difficult for people coming from smaller cities to survive on their own, but because of my family’s support I was able to handle my struggling phase. Mumbai is my karmabhumi. Though I love Mumbai, I miss the peace of Jaipur.”
