I was emotionally and physically stressed out - Aishwarya Sakhuja

Telly Ville's strong bahu, Toasty aka Aishwarya Sakhuja is a strong lady in real life too! Well, she just proved her strength in the thrilling reality show, Khatron Ke Khiladi! Though she did not win the show, she states that her true prize is when people come and tell her how strong she is! While in a tete-a-tete with us, she elaborates on the strongest contestant of the show, her journey and also why she is completely gaga over the charming Arjun Kapoor!

How was your experience?!

Fun! Fun! Fun that's all that comes to my head!

Which was the most difficult stunt for you?!

Well, none of the stunts were easy for either of us! But one stunt that was easy for me was when I had to lie down with rats all over me! But that was when I decided that never will I ever do a stunt where I am expected to lie down. For that's not what I have come all the way to Argentina; flown 30 hours and hence I needed to do something more challenging! That was the stunt where I felt useless. My most difficult stunt was my first one causing a chunk of flesh of my leg to come out making my further stunts difficult.

Who according to you is the strongest contestant?!

You know throughout I had been trying to figure out the strongest one! But with each passing time, every contestant just became stronger! But one person whom I really feel should win this show is Sana!

Were you expecting your eviction?!

Honestly, just two days before my eviction, I had called up my husband Rohit and had told him that I was tired! I was really tired of the surprises in the form of newer stunts. I was emotionally and physically stressed out. I was both physically and mentally exhausted. So yes I was expecting the eviction to happen.

How would you rate yourself from 1-10 on the basis of being one of the strongest players on the show?

Well, I will not rate myself as such! Yes, I know I have done a fantastic job. Yes, I did get eliminated and could not win the show. But you know what, I had eventually thought that I will be out in the first two weeks of the show! But I was there for 7 weeks! and plus the best is when people come and say, 'Ash! You are so strong!' If I could portray myself so strongly in a show like Khatron then that is the best thing. I don' t think Ill beI'llle to rate myself!

Had you made any special preparations before entering Khatron Ke Khiladi?!

I hadn't made any special preparations as such, though I had simply prepared myself. I am a swimmer, so instead of going thrice a week I went in regularly. Because I knew that for Khatron, swimming was a must!

Name one person who always had been petrified of stunts in the show?

Tina!She used to always be ki mujhse nahi hoga! But she always admitted that she was scared and never acted as if she is strong and later partner ki hi band baja di!

How was Arjun Kapoor as a host?

I love that man! He was so professional. In a show like Khatron, things can go out of hand. But he did not yell or lose his cool even once.

But there were reports of Tanishaa Mukerji being miffed with Arjun because of his tone. Did you guys being participants sense any kind of strain between them?

Yaar Mujhpar toh apna hi strain tha stunts ka. I was so zoned out that I hardly noticed agar aisa kuch hua tha tohbhi. 

Who all became your besties on this 'stuntful'  journey?

I am quite shy when it comes to making friends or meeting people. But Sana and I had worked together earlier in Nach Baliye. So when we went to Argentina and performed stunts together, encouraged each other tab dosti hogayi!
