Exclusive: Sneha Bhawsar on Ishani's new time and playing an antagonist; says ‘People love to hate Ankita and that's the biggest compliment I can get'
Speaking to Times of India TV, she shared her excitement, fan reactions, and what it means to play such a layered role in a prime-time slot.
Reflecting on the show's evolving journey, Sneha said, 'Who would've thought… from being part of a show, to a spin-off airing at 11 PM (yes, the 'sab so rahe hote hai' slot), to now becoming our very own show at 7:30 PM with a fresh storyline and identity — it's been a rollercoaster! The love you've shown for Ishani has been unreal, and honestly, that's what kept us going. This journey is just getting started… Stay with us, kyunki abhi toh bas shuruaat hui hai — picture abhi baaki hai!'
On audience feedback, Sneha gleefully shared, 'Oh, people love to hate Ankita—and honestly, that's the biggest compliment I can get as an actor! The hate is pouring in—and I'm loving every bit of it! People are genuinely furious at Ankita, and that tells me I'm doing my job just right.
That fine line between annoyance and fascination? That's where Ankita lives… rent-free in people's heads.'
Looking ahead, fans can expect drama at its best. 'Ankita and Yash's wedding is coming up—it's going to be beautiful, dramatic, and full of unexpected moments,' Sneha teased.
Speaking about the prime-time shift, she added, 'Playing Ankita in a prime-time slot is a dream. Most people expect female characters to be likable or redeemable—but Ankita isn't either, and I love that. This slot ensures more people witness her manipulations unfold in real time. That challenge? I live for it.'
With intensity, mystery, and emotional depth, Ishani and Sneha's Ankita are clearly here to stay—and stir things up.

Before leaving for the show, Krishna spoke exclusively to Times of India TV and opened up about father Jackie and brother Tiger Shroff 's reaction to her participation in the show. Speaking about her family's reaction, Krishna shared, "My father was so thrilled when he learned about this, he was like, 'You have to do this.' All that he believes in, all that he promotes, this show represents that. I feel like by going through this process, I'll get to know him better. As long as I've got him, I'm invincible. He's my strength. I always carry him around in my heart and I want to make him proud." She added, "My brother was like, 'Are you sure you want to do this?' He knows how much I love my comfort. My mother is excited about the idea but anxious about the time away. We're very close. This distance is new to both of us, but I think we'll emerge from it stronger." Krishna Shroff revealed that signing up for "Chhoriyaan Chali Gao" wasn't all about leaving the comfort of her city life, it was about embracing discomfort for growth. "At a very young age, I've always been adventurous and competitive. Anything that challenges me really intrigues me. I think more than transitioning from urban to village life, what's actually going to be challenging is to be away from my family for such a long time. But I know I'll return stronger, more independent." When asked why she opted for another reality show after Khatron Ke Khiladi, Krishna revealed, "I enjoy the reality space. It's raw, real, and fun. Being yourself and getting paid for it? That's the dream. And these shows go to huge platforms. I get to engage with a loyal and loving audience. The reality of space allows me to be myself. I enjoy introducing people to who I am not a character, not a filtered me. Just Krishna. I enjoy it when people know me. " Chhoriyan Chali Gaon will be hosted by Rannvijay Singh Singha and will air from August 3. Khatron Ke Khiladi 14's Krishna Shroff On Journey, Jackie-Tiger Shroff's Reaction, Asim-Abhishek's Fight
