I knew I'd be compared to Aishwarya Rai
Bachchan: Paridhi Sharma

Paridhi Sharma, who is
currently seen as Jodha
in the show 'Jodha
Akbar', was in the capital
recently and spoke to us
about the nuances of
playing a historical character and how the
comparisons with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have
only encouraged her.
Comparisons with Aishwarya feel nice
Ever since I started playing Jodha, I have been
getting a lot of compliments. I'm really happy
and I feel blessed that people are appreciating
me. I knew that people would compare me with
Aishwarya (who played Jodhaa in the movie
Jodhaa Akbar). I mean, from the beginning of
my career, I am being compared to an iconic
personality like Aishwarya.
I've even been called Madhubala
People have come and told me, 'You look better
than Aishwarya'. People have even compared
me to Madhubala. It feels great that my hard
work has paid off.
Lot of hard work to do a historical show
The sets of the show are in Karjat, near Mumbai,
so we have to stay there. Apart from that, I have
to wear this heavy jewellery and attire which is
sometimes a pain. You have to sacrifice
everything. Moreover, I trained in martial arts,
sword fighting and horse-riding. It's quite
different from what daily soap actors do. But at
the end of the day, the show is giving you so
much, so you have to make that sacrifice. In
fact, it's been really long since I have been to my
hometown Indore to meet my family. But
whenever my parents get time, they come to
visit the set.
I've had my share of struggles
Since childhood, I've had a passion towards art -
painting and dance. After completing my MBA
from Pune, I realized that marketing was not my
cup of tea. When people would ask me 'Why
marketing', the answers I would give were not
from my heart. Mujhe bahut fake interviews
dene pad rahe thay. I found acting to be the best
medium to portray myself. I went to Mumbai,
started struggling, and meanwhile, also did a lot
of theatre.
Would love to do a dance reality show
I have had formal training in Kathak. In Kathak,
you have to portray lots of expressions and
emotions. It has helped me in acting. If given a
chance, I would love to do a dance reality show.
Family is supportive
My parents were quite supportive when I
decided to enter TV. Even my husband is quite
supportive.
