Haven't you seen 1 birthday segment of Ashish? I think it is the India forums one. The actor who plays Samrat wishes Ashish good health which he says is really needed at the moment. And Sanaya says that she wishes that Ashish wins Jhalak. She also jokes 'So what if he is hospitalised after that for a few days? He will be rich anyway'. Sanaya's words not mine. She totally understands Ashish's professionalism. Also Ashish is going through a lot of personal problems right now. I read somewhere that his wife was not too well, besides that another family member too is sick, not sure if his Mother or someone else. Don't remember. But he has never shown the judges or even indicated on Jhalak. He never asked for sympathy votes even once. He is definitely professional to the core. What I am trying to say is that he doesn't want sympathy votes, whether about his back problem or personal problem. He'd rather win it because of his talent.
Besides I have never seen him complaining that much about carrying Sanaya. Once or twice jokingly is no big deal. Also I think Sanaya's bubbly nature brings out the child in him. He enjoyes letting loose and joking around her. She does that to most of her co-stars. Lastly, Sanaya totally understands him, so we should too.
