Actress Aishwarya Sakhuja recently auditioned for the role of Dayaben in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. The actress confirmed the news during a recent interview with BT and shared that she thinks it hasn’t worked out for her
She said, “I had auditioned 20–25 days back. I can sense some kind of urgency when they are casting Dayaben’s character. So I was called to audition for the role. Usually, we get a call back within like a week’s time. But since it’s been that long, I don’t think I am doing it.”
Talking about how the audition went, she said, “I loved it, the casting person loved it. We were laughing by the end of it. The idea of going ahead and testing for something like this… it’s an iconic character first. Secondly, for me I haven’t done anything like this – the Gujarati accent, to get energy like that, who is loud. So the idea was to challenge me and I went ahead and auditioned.”
She added, “Absolutely, I did see a few scenes – but I didn’t want to really copy her way of talking and accent. I wanted to make it more relatable because I will be stepping into another actor’s shoes so the quality traits need to be the same. Dayaben is a really mad character, and that’s completely opposite to me in real life.”
Talking about her current commitments, the actress shared, “I am auditioning left, right and center. So I am hoping I get a good role be it on TV, the web, or in films. My audition phase is on right now. I am busy doing theatre so that kind of confidence is also coming from there. I have been honing my craft for the past few months.”
