Ashita Dhawan excited to work with husband

Small screen actress Ashita Dhawan is excited to be paired with her real life husband, Shailesh Gulbani, in TV show "Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya".

They will be seen as Saawri and Pratap in the show that goes on air Monday on Zee TV.

"It's fantastic to be paired with each other. We balance each other perfectly. I'm a chatterbox, while he is calm and quiet. We are extending our real roles in reel too, which is fun!" Ashita said in a statement.

The actress, however, feels that working together as husband and wife adds to the pressure of performing well.

"When I'm with any other co-actor, I am focusing only on myself and my performance, but with my husband, I need to ensure that as a couple we look good and give a good performance! There's double the pressure," she added.

Shailesh too agrees with his Ashita.

"On the sets, I'm a different person. I choose to concentrate only on my work. Only thing is that Ashita and I share a great on-screen chemistry. The advantage of working together as a couple is that we get to go and come back together from the sets," he said.
