On this intriguing occasion of

, where all the chai lovers take a moment to celebrate their love for the beverage,
Aishwarya Khare
, who essays the role of Lakshmi in
Bhagya Lakshmi
said, 'I truly believe there's nothing a good cup of tea can't fix.
For me, chai isn't just a drink, it's comfort, nostalgia, and a daily ritual I can't do without. My mornings begin only after that first sip of chai, and on hectic days, it becomes my little escape.
"
Aishwarya has an interesting
chai recipe
, "I have my own little recipe that I swear by - I boil mint leaves, adrak (ginger), and elaichi (cardamom) together before adding the tea leaves, sugar, and milk. It's not just about the taste, it's soothing, especially when you're under the weather or just feeling drained.
That aroma, the warmth of the cup in your hands — it's like a gentle reminder to slow down and breathe. No matter where I am or how busy life gets, a cup of chai always brings me home.
"
Recently, Aishwarya had shot 6 hours in a cold storage for an intense scene, sharing her experience, she said, "Shooting this sequence was one of the most challenging yet exciting experiences of my career. To maintain the foggy effect in the room, we had to switch off the AC and the room was very hot, making it a little difficult to shoot.
Maintaining expressions, delivering dialogues, and staying in that environment for long stretches required a lot of focus and endurance.
However, as actors, we embrace such challenges to bring authenticity to our performances. I'm truly grateful to my team for ensuring my comfort and safety throughout the shoot. These experiences push me to grow in my craft, and I love every bit of it.'
