Mumbai;  Actress-singer Shehnaaz Gill, who has often credited her time on Bigg Boss 13 for giving her career a push upwards, has talked about expectations, success and how she views her own journey.

Asked Shehnaaz, who is currently basking in the success of her maiden production “Ikk Kudi”, if there’s any pressure on her shoulders considering the volume of love that comes her way, the actress, who enjoys a following of a whopping 19 million on Instagram, told news agency “You should take pressure. Sometimes good things happen. If people have pressure, life can go well.”

Shehnaaz doesn’t mince her words when she credits the controversial reality show for her success.

“I will never say that I have achieved something. But I can say that Bigg Boss has given me a lot. It was a platform where my life changed,” she added.

The actress’ filmography also includes names such as 'Kala Shah Kala', 'Daaka', 'Honsla Rakh', 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan', and 'Thank You for Coming' to her credit.
