Saloni bonds with Parvati
By: Tushar Joshi
October 13, 2006

Rajshri Thakur and Sakshi Tanwar

They may be on screen rivals competing wih different shows on different channels, but off screen they have become the best of friends. Recently, Rajshri Thakur, Sakshi Tanwar and Kanchi Kaul went on a trip to the US by invitation to meet some Non-Resident Indians.

This being her first trip to the country, Rajshri was excited about visiting there. "I was there for six days and went to Houston, Chicago and some other places. Even though most of the time was spent travelling from one state to the other, we did manage to have a good time."

Gelled well

Talking about her special friendship with Sakshi, she says, "I bonded really well with Sakshi. She's such a good human being and a fun person. I always watched her as Parvati, but on this trip I got to know the person behind the character."

When asked to narrate the most memorable part of the trip, Sakshi says, "I think visiting the Niagra Falls stood out as my favourite moment. It's just so beautiful; we took a ride in the Maid of the Mist, which is a boat ride and it goes right next to the Falls. I think everyone should visit the Falls."

During her stay, the actress also celebrated her birthday on September 22. "I don't know how these guys found out. They got me a cake and we had a little celebration."

Did she miss her fianc Sanjot on her birthday? "Yes, I did. He's quite busy with his work. He called up and wished me that day."

Getting hitched

After postponing her marriage date for a while, she has finally zeroed down on February as the month she will tie the knot. "I think it's high time I get married. Because of work and both our schedules conflicting, the date keeps getting pushed ahead. But February is confirmed."

Another highlight of her trip was meeting some special fans. "I met this child who was in a wheelchair, and another aged man who, too, was physically challenged. It was quite an emotional moment for me to meet and greet these fans."

Does she get time to watch her co-star Sharad Kelkar dance on Nach Baliye 2? "I'm dying to watch it. I haven't seen a single episode till date. But I am quite curious to see him dance."
