. She said she feels her daughter is sorted in life and is really proud of Aisha.
In an interview with The Free Press Journal, Rukshar shared that she felt happy and thankful, not only for herself. She said that if she was not with Aisha somewhere, she would be at peace knowing that her 'bacchi' was sorted, doing well in life, and not involved in things she would not want her to be in. She mentioned being at peace more than proud. When she saw Aisha's projects, the 10–20 second videos she used to make, she felt proud that Aisha was doing so well and noted that she used to do comedy.
Rukshar added that if someone asked her to choose acting roles, she would only choose comedy, as she enjoyed it a lot. She reiterated that she was very much at peace as far as Aisha was concerned, which she considered a big thing.
The actress added that she had no trouble managing her career and raising Aisha. "For a while, Aisha was with my parents, but after my mother and grandmother passed away, I put her in a boarding school in Nashik, and she enjoyed her growing years there," Rukhsar continued. "I also loved that school."
Asad Ahmed, Rukhsar's first husband, had a daughter named Aisha Ahmed. In 2010, Rukshar, who had previously been married, married filmmaker

Janmashtami celebrated with festive fervour
1 2 Jaipur: The Pink City turned into a canvas of devotion and festivity Saturday as thousands of devotees celebrated Janmashtami with grandeur. From historic temples to bustling markets, every corner of Jaipur resonated with chants, rituals, and vibrant cultural events. The day began before dawn at Govind Devji temple, where the special Mangla Jhanki at 4:30 am unveiled the deity in new yellow attire. The Mangla and Gwal aartis drew massive gatherings, with long queues stretching from Jaleb Chowk to the temple premises. To ensure order, the administration created four separate queues—for pass holders, barefoot devotees, worshippers with footwear, and those in the Jagmohan category. At Radha Damodar temple in Chaura Rasta, traditions dating back nearly 500 years were observed. Here, Krishna is worshipped as a 2.5-year-old child, with Janmashtami celebrated during the day and Nandotsav in the evening—a practice followed for the past 300 years. In Vaishali Nagar, Chitrakoot Stadium became a festive hotspot as Samras Bharat Seva Sansthan hosted a grand Janmashtami programme. Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, MLA Gopal Sharma, and JMC-Greater Mayor Somya Gurjar attended the event. The Dahi Handi competition, featuring teams of youngsters above 14, electrified the crowd, while the Bal Gopal contest saw children dressed as Krishna. Across the Walled City, shops selling idols, costumes, and decorative items overflowed with buyers, while children dressed as Radha and Krishna added colour to the streets.
