Ayesha Kaduskar, who is playing Ashi Singh’s on-screen sister, Preeti, in Sony TV’s student romance saga, Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai, very much identifies herself with the character. “Preeti is just like me in real life. Both of us are outgoing and use a lot of humour in our respective conversations.”
How is your off-screen equation with the leads? “I and Ashi have become like real sisters off screen as well, doing sister stuff. Randeep Rai is also a great guy who takes good care of everyone on set.”
When asked as to what led to the numbers tapering off after a good start in terms of Sony ratings, she says, “I really would not say that anything has gone wrong, just that every show has its ups and downs. But we have always been giving good scenes.”
Ayesha, who has been acting since the age of five, now wants to do leads in both films and TV next. “The best prep would be to keep working, and yes, I am working on my other aspects such as dance. I am thankful to God for having given me an opportunity to work in a craft I love.”
Although, for the moment, Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai takes up most of Ayesha’s time, if she gets a window, she would like to try her hands at web series which is the next in thing. Unlike others, she would not mind doing edgy stuff, “If the character has meat and the boldness is as per my comfort level.”
