Ashita Dhawan's radio dreams

Ashita Dhawan, seen as Malti bhabhi in Bidaai and Bubbly Chadha in Ladies Special, visited two radio stations to promote the latter show recently. Ashita spoke to us in detail about her experience of being live on Radio Mirchi on June 23.

Radio Mirchi's programme, Ashita says, was a lot fun. There was a contest held on the show Dheemi Local in honour of Ashita's visit. She adds, "It was a live show. RJ Sana was there and I cannot describe what a wonderful experience it was. I got to interact with listeners as the station had a contest based on me. They asked listeners 'Ashita's character of Bubbly Chadha is from which show?' and within five minutes RJ Sana was flooded with answers. It was amazing."

The experience was all the more fun because Ashita has always harboured dreams of becoming an RJ. She says, "Since I am a very talkative person, my friends would always tell me to become an RJ. I would actually enact my lines as an RJ in front of the mirror. If I hadn't become an actor, being an RJ would have been a serious option for me. An RJ does a lot of multitasking. You have to have presence of mind while interacting, because a caller can ask you any question and you have to give them an answer without delay."

The actress dreams of having her own radio show one day, saying, "I would love to do a show on a regular basis. It would be mixture of Hindi and English. I will interact in both languages and play Hindi and English songs. I have good taste in music."

Ashita was also interviewed by Radio City the day before yesterday. She says, "Radio City's interview was not that exciting because it was recorded. I went there, they recorded my interview and that was all. We finished in 15 minutes and I met RJ Jayram.

She was not well recently yet she still shot for her serials. She says, "I had fever but I believe that there is no market for an actor's sorrows in the industry. I was shooting for a sequence in Bidaai where I had to be happy but, as I had a temperature, my eyes were watering. My director understood that it was not my fault but I still had to shoot. Thankfully, for the next scene, I had to cry!"

Ashita was even ill during her visit to the radio stations but says she forgot about all her ailments and was in a great mood once she was in the studio.
