Aashka gets abusive
No, it wasn't on the sets with a co-actor but with a couple of hooligans on the street

As Kumud in Kusum, she faced all the trials and tribulations of life with relative ease. In real life, Aaskha Goradia displayed this similar spunk and spirit which we have come to associate with her character. Last Tuesday as she was returning home after shooting from Sankraman Studios, a few hooligans stalked her for over two hours. The actress was stranded at the Aarey Milk Colony signal because of the heavy rains.
"We had an early morning shift that day. But when I reached there, I was told that the shoot was cancelled. Soon after I left the place with my co-actor Anokhee (who plays her sister in Kahin To Hoga). However it had already begun to rain heavily and there was a heavy traffic jam. So I was stranded on the Aarey Milk Colony road."
The next two hours however proved to be a nightmare for the actress. She recalls, "Some young boys spotted my car and came up to me. They wanted me to roll down the windows of my car. And when I didn't follow their instructions, they began scratching the glass and making obscene noises. It was quite scary."
Strangely the thought of calling for help never seemed to occur to her. She says, "I was waiting for a friend who stays nearby to come over and pick me up." Needless to say, that never happened.
"I tried to shoo them away but they refused to take heed and did not budge. Finally I had to get abusive," she says. However it took a knight in shining armour… a certain young chap called Nikhil and his gang of boys to drive the hooligans away.
"Later, the friend I was waiting for took me to her house and it was only then that I heaved a sigh of relief," she says.
