MUMBAI:  Former 'Bigg Boss 13' contestant Arti Singh has been roped in to play the role of Chandra Chachi in the new show 'Shravani'. Arti expressed her excitement about playing a negative role for the first time and said that she wanted to push the boundaries and surprise her fans with every project.
