She started off playing the role of a girl next door in Kkusum. But after that stint, Aashka Goradia has been busy playing the role of the vamp. She enjoys shades of grey, the actress tells Sangeeta Yadav
Tell us about the twist that is going to happen in Maharana Pratap...
After the victory of Pratap, Maharani Dheer Bai develops contempt and hatred towards him and Maharani Jaivantabai. She is now going to try all the tricks in her bag to kill Pratap. She can’t stand his success and wishes that it is her son instead who is at the top. Pratap’s choti maa will show her evil side in the coming few episodes
Do you also have shades of grey in realIJ
I’m a very straight forward person which a lot of people don’t like about me. I say what I feel but I never say it intentionally. I’m a daddy’s girl and my family is my life.
Nowadays, every actor on TV is making their debut in Bollywood...
Not every actor. Atleast not me. I want to be a business woman. I’ve initiated the food packaging and frozen food business in Mumbai. I launched my retail outlet with Bisleri named — I Say Ice. It’s USP is that it serves 40 flavours of gola. I’m going to expand this business to every part of India. If I get an irresistible offer from Bollywood, tab toh sone pe suhaga ho jayega.
Who is your inspirationIJ
I admire Smriti Irani. I enjoyed working with her in Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thhi. She is a tremendous actor. I wish she comes back to acting and we could work again. Even Rekhaji is someone who can never be replaced.
Are you a brands personIJ
I don’t go and pick up anything randomly. I usually have 12 pair of shoes. I don’t buy the 13th one until one of them is spoilt. No matter how smart the dress is I will not pick it up if I am not sure whether it will look good on me. I would rather wait to get back in shape before splurging on that dress.
