Actress Chandni Bhagwanani is known for her role as Dr. Asha Kanwar in the 2019 show Sanjivani, which also starred Surbhi Chandna, Namit Khanna, Mohnish Bahl, Gurdeep Kohli and Gaurav Chopra in pivotal roles.

Chandni recently opened up about the backlash that she received during the show Sanjivani and claimed that people body-shamed her; she was also given death threats on social media. Speaking about it to Telly Talk India, she said, "I was body shamed; there were comments about my personal character, like what kind of girl I am. My parents used to get messages and I also received death threats. So I couldn't process it. I thought that I would get into depression because I was unable to handle it."

Furthermore, she talked about how she dealt with such negative backlash for playing an antagonist in the show. As people thought that she was just like the role that she played on-screen, she added, "Aap socho agar apke photo pe 10 comments hai jispe se 4 comment apki body pe hai, 2 comments apke character pe hai, people are calling you slut, bitch, and whatnot. Such vulgar language is how you might feel if you see such comments. It felt like somebody was saying that to my face. So I could not handle it. I used to go on Instagram Live and bash my fans because I was so annoyed.

On the work front, Chandni was last seen in the show Anupamaa, starring Rupali Ganguly, Sudhanshu Pandey, Madalsa Sharma, and Gaurav Khanna. She played the role of Pakhi Shah.

The television drama series premiered on 13 July 2020 on StarPlus and streams digitally on Disney+ Hotstar.
