Mumbai, Jan 7 (NationPress) Ayesha Khan, the former contestant of ‘Bigg Boss 17’, shared insights about her character in the upcoming series “Dil Ko Rafu Karr Lei”. She described her role as “full of life” and a “patakha”. Ayesha portrays Nikki in the show, which is produced by Ravie Dubey and Sargun Mehta under their production company, Dreamiyata Dramaa.
Reflecting on her character, she stated, “During the script reading, our writer Meenakshi went through the script, and after hearing it, I suggested that the girl's name should be Khwahish because she has so many dreams and so much ambition within her.”
“However, Meenakshi corrected me, saying, 'No, this is Nikki – the one who always speaks her mind, acts quickly, and gets things done in a flash.' That moment really resonated with me, and I recognized that Nikki is indeed full of life. She’s a patakha, a strong, vibrant, and genuinely happy individual,”
Ayesha expressed, adding that Nikki's character closely resembles her off-screen persona. “A part of me is, yes, very much like her. I am very straightforward—on the face, always a happy girl, fun, and bubbly. But yes, Nikki’s energy is on another level, and I don’t think I can match up to that,” she mentioned.
Ayesha is paired with Karan V Grover in the series and shared that she is enjoying her time shooting with the cast both on and off camera. “I think I am blessed to be working with such talented actors. Karan, Chirag, Meenakshi, Swati ji, Kamal, and oh, Nirmal ma’am—whenever I see her perform, it is such a joy. I am always excited to see her shooting. She traveled all the way from Ludhiana, shot, and then returned home. She is truly a hardworking woman,” she said.
Speaking of Karan, she added, “He is a fabulous actor and an amazing human being. I initially thought he would be very serious, but he is incredibly fun-loving. We share a great bond, and I will really miss everyone.”
Ayesha also praised Ravie and Sargun, saying: “What can I even say about Sargun ma’am? She has always inspired me. A producer, entrepreneur, actor—you name it, and she excels at it. I truly look up to her and respect her immensely due to her relentless hard work.”
“Whenever she is on set, I am the happiest person. I am literally the one standing with sparkling eyes, watching her. I really admire her,” she stated.
Ayesha expressed her admiration for Ravie as well: “Over the years, he has provided us with incredible entertainment. I believe anyone can make films, but having a creative mind and the dedication to put in the effort is something special—Ravie bhaiya embodies that. Both of them know how to present their art to the audience.”
