Kanica Maheshwari who debuted with 'Kabhi Aaye na Judai' and did shows like 'Lipstick', 'Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki', 'Yahi Toh Hai Who', 'India Calling', 'Piya Ka Ghar', 'Virasaat', 'Sindoor Tere Naam Ka', 'Doli Saja Ke', 'FIR', 'Yes Boss', 'Jamegi Jodi Dotcom', 'Anu Ki Ho Gayi Wah Bhai Wah' and 'Saath Saath' is currently seen playing Rajkumari Bhoomi in 'Raja Ki Aayegi Barat'. She got to wear a few of the costumes worn by Aishwariya Rai in 'Jodhaa Akbar', which were designed by Neetha Lulla. The clothes come from Neeta Lulla's office.

We got in touch with her to know more about the experience. "I am privileged to wear the costumes worn by Aishwariya Rai Bachchan," she said. "She is a beautiful woman and not just because of that but even the movie 'Jodhaa Akbar' is a memorable one. The costumes used are truly very beautiful and not every actress gets a chance like this. Such things are hardly done on TV and I consider myself quite lucky to experience this."

Kanica continued: "When I first got to know that the costumes were used by Aishwariya, I was like 'wow'…that was my whole reaction and I felt really nice. The costumes are great and I really could not believe it. It is a wonderful experience for me."

She added: "The idea behind using those costumes was just to show something different. It was to give a royal feel. I wear some very unique costumes in the show with special earrings and bangles. Costumes play an important part in such shows and it is important to present the right aura of a Rajkumari."

She concluded: "It was a great feeling overall and the only discomfort was that the costumes were too heavy. But that didn't matter much and everything went off well. I have worked very hard by giving special time to work on this. It is sure to be a treat for the audience and I hope they watch and like it."

All said and done, it sure does seem like a good way to boost the TRPs. What say folks?
