Actress Aishwarya Raj Bhakuni, currently starring in Oh Humnava- Tum Dena Saath Mera, recently opened up about the vital role laughter plays in her life. For her, staying upbeat isn’t just a mood—it’s a strategy to stay grounded despite the grueling demands of a hectic acting schedule. Rather than waiting for a funny moment to strike, Aishwarya treats joy as a conscious habit.
“I make it a point to include laughter in my day,” she explains. “Whether it’s stand-up specials, viral clips, or comedy films, I watch something every single day. It’s my favorite genre.” Beyond digital content, she surrounds herself with a quick-witted inner circle, viewing humor as an essential escape from the long hours and emotional weight of the industry.

While wellness trends like “laughter yoga” are gaining popularity, Aishwarya prefers a more authentic spark. “I haven’t tried structured laughter yoga; I’m more of a purist,” she says. For her, the best medicine isn’t practiced—it’s organic. She finds that genuine happiness stems from relatable, unscripted moments and high-quality entertainment that triggers a natural laugh.

She strongly believes in the healing power of laughter. “Absolutely. No matter how stressful things get, watching something funny or sharing jokes with friends instantly lightens the mood. It helps reduce stress and brings a sense of ease,” she explains. For her, these small moments of joy act as a quick reset button during hectic days. Interestingly, it doesn’t take much to make her laugh. “Simple, spontaneous humor—like a funny video or a natural, unplanned joke—can instantly make me laugh,” she says, emphasizing how everyday moments often carry the most genuine joy.
When asked about what always brings a smile to her face, Aishwarya offers a refreshingly honest perspective. “I’ve stopped relying on others to make me happy. What truly brings a smile to my face is my sense of financial independence. Earning my own money, seeing the results of my hard work, and even enjoying it through something like shopping gives me genuine happiness.” (PM/PG)
