No Saas Bina Sasuraal for Aishwarya Sakhuja

By Asha Mahadevan

The pretty lady is quite clear that she would love to have a mother-in-law in real life

Tanya aka Toasty may not mind that hers is a saas bina sasuraal, but ask Aishwarya Sakhuja if she is fine with that in real life too and she reveals that she is definitely not. Aishwarya, who plays Toasty in the Sony show, admits that she may not always be able to plan her life, but one thing she is clear about is that she wants a mother-in-law. "I would make sure of that. My mother is no more and not having a mother-in-law to fill that void will make it really worse. It would kill me," she says candidly. Wethink her future mother-in-law is one lucky lady – especially since Aishwarya loves wearing the saris on Saas Bina Sasuraal as much as she loved the western wear on Rishta.com. "I wear some really fabulous saris on the show. I think they are lovely for Indian women's body structure. I am more comfortable in western wear, but after wearing saris for 12 hours a day for the past nine months, I am used to that too." Glad to hear that, 'cause we really love you in those saris!

Aishwarya Sakhuja: I wish I could be like Toasty

By Asha Mahadevan

The Saas Bina Sasuraal actor says while her character is a 'sorted' person, she herself is certainly not so in real life

Tanya aka Toasty in Saas Bina Sasuraal (SBS) has just gone through a rough patch and come out the better for it, but Aishwarya Sakhuja, who plays the character on the Sony show, is yet to get her wish granted in real life. "I just need five days off. My dad was in the Army and, as a kid, I have hardly stayed in the same city for a long period. I get sick of one city if I stay there too long. I want to explore another part of the country for a break and then get back to work, but that's not possible," she sighs.

Not that she has anything against the show. "With the rule of 12-hour workdays, it is not so bad. And being on a show like this has taught me discipline. And it's a lot of fun to play Toasty. When I am acting, I don't feel like I am working."

Acting wasn't something that Aishwarya always knew she wanted to do. "When I was a kid, I wanted to be a veterinary doctor. But I got fed up of science in school and took up literature in college. That's when modelling happened, then Miss India, and I progressed to anchoring. I don't know when exactly acting happened." But she is loving it and has no worries that if this show continues for very long, she will be associated with Toasty and find it difficult to essay another character later. "That was true earlier, but not anymore, with 10 new shows being launched at any point of time. And if people are loving me as Toasty, then what's the harm? I know I will get more work later."

That "more work" doesn't include films at the moment. "That is a different arena. It's great that newcomers are being accepted nowadays. I too have auditioned a few times, but somehow nothing worked out. I am pretty happy with my character and the show. Maybe something's in store after five years."

And no, playing Toasty day in and day out for nine months has not bored Aishwarya yet. "SBS has a very interesting screenplay. Toasty's personality is constantly changing and evolving, just like it happens in real life. So, it's not boring at all."

What helps is that Aishwarya totally loves the character. "Toasty doesn't give up on relationships easily. There is a lot of hurt and angst in her, but she understands that the men are victims of their circumstances. She understands where they come from, even when they do inhuman things like voting to decide if she can come back. She is sorted."

Is Aishwarya sorted too? "I wish I could say yes, but no. I will never have the capability to decide my life."
