Friends at work
Sparks might fly and they might spew venom on screen at the sight of each other, but they are the best of friends once the director yells “Cut!”. Ashwini Kalsekar and Paridhi Sharma, who are currently seen as the scheming Mahamanga and Jodha, respectively, on Zee TV’s Jodha Akbar, are doing an excellent job of keeping their camaraderie hidden from viewers!
Once the cameras have stopped rolling, the two can be found in and out of each other’s make-up rooms, talking, laughing and generally having a good time. When not shooting, Ashwini and Paridhi spend a lot of time in each other’s company. The two are even known to have gone shopping together on their days off from the shoot. “They are almost like Siamese twins on the sets. When you see one, the other one isn’t far behind,” says a source on the sets. “Ashwini often brings home-cooked food for Paridhi whenever she travels to Mumbai since Paridhi keeps telling people how much she misses home-cooked food.”
“Yes, I do share a very good rapport with Ashwini ji,” says Paridhi. “She is like an elder sister and a mentor to me. Ever since we have signed the show together, we have become very good friends. Staying so far away from home does get lonesome at times, but with Ashwini around, I am able to forget that. She is someone who I have grown to trust over the last few months. I am so thankful to have her stand by my side through the shoot.”
