Aishwarya Sharma ROPED IN for Ektaa Kapoor's upcoming show amid separation reports with Neil Bhatt?

Aishwarya Sharma has been in the news in recent weeks following reports about her separation from actor Neil Bhatt. The two, who got married in 2021, were once considered among television’s most admired couples, especially after sharing screen space in Ghum Hain Kisikey Pyaar Meiin. According to reports, the couple decided to part ways nearly four years into their marriage due to certain disagreements. While neither Aishwarya nor Neil has directly addressed the divorce rumours, the developments around their personal lives have kept them in the public spotlight.

Amid these reports, Aishwarya Sharma is now being linked to a new professional opportunity. As per industry buzz, Ekta Kapoor is preparing to launch a fresh show on YouTube, and Aishwarya is said to be one of the top contenders for the lead role. The project is expected to mark Ekta Kapoor’s continued expansion into digital content. Reports also suggest that the male lead opposite Aishwarya could be Varun Vijae, who is known for his roles in television shows like Sasural Simar Kaa and Anupamaa, although no official confirmation has been made so far.

According to Tellywood Relay, Aishwarya Sharma, along with a few other actresses, has been approached for the upcoming project. Sources indicate that the makers are keen on casting her as the face of the show. However, details regarding the storyline, final cast, and release timeline have not yet been announced by the production house.

Further reports claim that the role being considered for Aishwarya will have strong emotional layers and broad audience appeal. The series is being developed specifically for Balaji’s YouTube platform and is expected to follow a long format structure, focusing on character driven storytelling rather than short episodic content.

The news of Aishwarya possibly headlining a new show comes shortly after she faced online backlash, with some users accusing her of bullying on set. In response, Aishwarya took to Instagram to call out the trolls. Despite the attention surrounding her personal life, she has remained focused on her career and has not publicly commented on the status of her marriage.

Earlier, a source told News 18 in 2025, "Neil and Aishwarya have been living separately for a long time now. They have now officially filed for divorce, and formalities are likely to begin soon. We are not sure how the problems between the two started, but it is confirmed that they are now going their separate ways (sic)."
