On GHKKPM set, Neil and I don’t even get the time to sit together; thankful for ‘Smart Jodi’: Aishwarya Sharma

Neil Bhatt and Aishwarya Sharma fell in love on the sets of Star Plus show ‘Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin’ and got hitched with each other a few months ago. The duo is now seen in Star Plus’ reality show ‘Smart Jodi’. The show is more about the couples’ compatibility and understanding.

India Forums got in touch with actress Aishwarya Sharma who plays the role of Pakhi in ‘Ghum Hai…’ and asked her about what made them sign ‘Smart Jodi’. She quipped, “Well, Neil and I always wanted to do a talent-based reality show but when this show was offered, we were quite intrigued. We saw a couple of episodes of ‘Ishmart Jodi’ as the show is an adaption of a South-Indian show. Watching a few clips of that show made us quite interested and we decided to take it up. Also, the format of the show is different and unexpected and that’s also one of the reasons to giving it a nod”.

She added, “We were both elated to be a part of this as we’re getting to do something other than GHKKPM. We will also feature our rehearsals in the show, which is quite exciting. I’m also happy that I’ll no longer have to wear sarees (laughs). I think it’s fun. I can’t tell you how happy I am”.

Aishwarya also spoke about not getting to spend enough time with husband Neil post wedding. She stated, “Basically, we’re doing this show for fun. We’ve not gotten enough time to spend post wedding as on sets we shoot in different units and have hardly any scenes together. Even off-screen, we don’t even get time to sit together. ‘Smart Jodi’ came as a blessing as we’re finally getting time with each other and know each other better with each passing day. This show is like a compatibility test. I am very excited and I feel like I’ll live my childhood again on the show”.

Talking about knowing the other couples on the show, Sharma said, “I feel like I’ve got a new family as everyone on the show is so warm and down to earth. We often discuss our married lives and we have two quite experienced couples like Himalay Sir- Bhagyashree mam’am and Srikant Sir- Vidya ma’am. We’re getting to know how they managed everything and for them it was quite a challenge as there were no cell phones or social media. Knowing all of it is quite enriching and it’s a learning process for us”.
