Popular
TV
actress
Aishwarya
Sakhuja,
who
shot
to
fame
as
Toasty
in
hit
soap
Saas
Bina
Sasuraal,
says
she
does
not
want
to
do
run-of-the-mill
shows
on
small
screen.
The
model-turned-actress
is
currently
doing
Main
Naa
Bhoolungi,
a
thriller-drama
being
aired
on
Sony
TV.
"I
don't
want
to
do
any
run-of-the-mill
shows.
After
Saas
Bina
Sasuraal,
it
took
me
a
while
to
choose
a
fiction
show
which
I
liked.
It
(Saas...)
was
a
path
breaking
show
for
me
and
I
was
looking
for
something
bigger
after
that," the
27-year-old
said.
"This
industry
gives
you
a
lot
and
also
takes
away
a
lot
from
you.
In
my
case,
my
health
suffered
and
so
I
took
a
break.
I
wanted
to
recover
completely
and
then
get
back
to
work.
Being
without
work
makes
you
feel
depressed.
I
love
to
act
and
will
do
so
till
I
die,"
she
said.
Aishwarya
became
a
household
name
with
her
lead
character
in
Saas
Bina
Sasuraal,
a
comedy-drama
involving
a
family
which
has
only
male
members.
Toasty
(her
character
in
the
show)
comes
into
the
family
sans
mother-in-law
after
her
marriage.
The
show
was
on
air
from
2010
to
2012.
In
the
new
TV
show,
she
plays
Shikha,
a
simple
and
sweet
college
girl.
Her
parents
get
her
married
to
a
young
man
who,
on
face
of
it,
comes
across
as
an
ideal
husband.
But
he
has
a
dark
secret
--
his
dreams
are
all
about
torturing
and
killing
her.
"It
is
a
thriller-drama
with
lots
of
twists.
The
show
and
my
role
is
opposite
of
Toasty
of
'Saas
Bina
Sasuraal'.
I
want
to
break
the
Toasty
mould
and
bring
Shikha
into
the
limelight,"
Aishwarya
said.
Main
Naa
Bhoolungi
is
about
crime
against
women
and
Aishwarya
is
glad
with
the
fact
that
today
such
cases
are
at
least
being
reported.
"Crimes
against
women
had
been
happening
for
years
but
they
are
now
getting
reported.
It
is
sad
women
feel
unsafe
in
India
and
fear
reporting
the
crime.
It
makes
me
angry
to
see
how
easily
criminals
go
scot-free
and
repeat
their
offence
because
we
don't
have
strict
laws.
Aishwarya
has
been
seen
as
a
married
woman
on
TV,
but
in
real
life
she
is
not.
She
is
in
a
relationship
with
Rohit
Nag,
producer-director
of
ad
films
and
movies,
but
marriage
is
not
her
priority.
There
are
no
plans
of
marriage
as
of
now.
May
be
after
a
few
years
we
will
take
our
relationship
forward
with
our
parents' blessings,"
she
added.
