Exclusive | Aishwarya Khare on Chhoriyan Chali Gaon: It has a very unique concept

Aishwarya Khare

The upcoming captive reality show Chhoriyan Chali Gaon is set to have Bhagya Lakshmi's Aishwarya Khare as the contestant. In an exclusive chat, the actress opened up about her reason behind taking up the show soon after wrapping her previous show, her take on reality shows and more.

On taking up Chhoriyan Chali Gaon

I am very excited about the show, but very nervous. This is the first time I am doing a reality show. Before this, I had never given a thought to reality; I have always been inclined towards fiction shows. And the reality shows before Chhoriyan Chali Gaon weren't my cup of tea. However, this one is a very unique concept. It has a lot of emotional content, tasks and gets you connected to the fans. That is what actually made me agree to take up the show.

On wrapping Bhagya Lakshmi after 4 years

Of course, it became a routine for me. I did Bhagya Lakshmi for four years, and I had the same routine all these years. Meeting all the friends and family there. It actually becomes a job for you. Suddenly, when the routine broke, it did hit me. I remember when we came to know about it, I was really sad, but then on the last day, it hit me that I wouldn't be coming to the set anymore. Even when I cross that road, it brings back so many memories. All good things come to an end. I am just so glad that my show and my character garnered immense love from fans, and we had a great time with it. Whatever I am today is all because of Bhagya Lakshmi.

Projects Aishwarya looks out for

When I was doing the negative role, I wanted to do something different. I still remember that I wanted to tap into all shades of characters, and I got it. Then Bhagya Lakshmi happened, which was completely different. Even after Lakshmi, I was thinking that I wanted to take up something that challenges me. So when I was offered similar roles, I waited for the right moment, and I got Chhoriyan Chali Gaon. It's an opportunity for me to know myself better. This would also help me determine what I want to do.

On exploring herself through the reality show

The growing years of my life, I have given them to Bhagya Lakshmi. At times, when you are so busy doing the job, you forget who you are as a person. So with this show, I am getting a chance to know myself better. When you have to make your own choices, you understand yourself more deeply. And with this show, I am sure I am going to get a better understanding of what I want ahead.
