Reel Enemies, Real friends! MA and Jo.

Sparks might fly and they
might spew venom at the
sight of each other on screen,
but they are the best of
friends once the director yells
"Cut!". Ashwini Kalsekar and
Paridhi Sharma who are
currently seen as
starring Mahamanga and
Jodha respectively on Zee
TV's Jodha Akbar, are doing
an excellent job of keeping
their camaraderie hidden
from viewers!

Once the cameras have
stopped rolling, the two can
be found in and out of each
other's makeup rooms,
talking, laughing and
generally having a good time.
When not shooting, Ashwini
and Paridhi spend a lot of
time in each other's
company. The two are even
known to have gone
shopping together on one of
their days off from the shoot.
"They are almost like
Siamese twins on the sets.
When you see one, the other
one isn't far behind."- Says a
source on the sets.
"Ashwini
often brings Paridhi food
from home whenever she
goes to Mumbai since Paridhi
keeps telling people about
how much she misses home-
cooked food."-Says Another source.
"Yes, I do share a very good
rapport with Ashwini ji." Says
Paridhi.
"She is like an elder
sister and a mentor to me.
Ever since we have signed the
show together, we have
become very good friends.
Staying so far away from
home does get lonesome at
times but with Ashwini
around, I am able to forget
that. She is someone who I
have grown to trust over the
last few months. I am so
thankful to have her stand by
my side through the shoot."
