Aishwarya recovers .At Sikkim at Quake time

• October 2, 2011

The reverberations of the powerful earthquake that ripped through Sikkim are still being felt throughout the country. The bahu of Sony TV’s Saas Bina Sasuraal (Aishwarya Sakhuja), was at Sikkim when the earthquake devastated the state. Aishwarya shudders at the memory of the traumatic experience. The actress confirms, “Yes, I was there when the earthquake struck. We were planning this trip for three months and before we reached the place the earthquake occured. Our flight was delayed and when we reached the area, we could see landslides everywhere. We couldn’t move ahead and we were stuck. We stayed at a military camp. I am grateful to the Army for all the help they gave us.”
Aishwarya had to change her plans and complete her vacation at another destination. “This trip was planned months in advance and I hardly get time off, so my family suggested we go to Darjeeling instead,” said the actress. A narrow escape for Aishwarya, who says, “I’ll never forget the experience.”
Neha Marda turns 24
Neha Marda, best known as Gehna of Balika Vadhu, recently celebrated her birthday. The actress got a big surprise when Aayushman, her fiancé who was in Patna, suddenly turned up for the D-day. And he was loaded with gifts — 24 to be precise, as Neha turns 24. There were perfumes, clothes, jewellery and much more. The first cake that she cut was also very special because it was a home-made cake made by her sister-in-law. We hear the party went on till 3 in the morning. A memorable 24th birthday for Neha.
