Meet Salman Khan's onscreen sister who quit acting after a ₹400 crore hit, shocked everyone...

This actress was barely 10 when she entered the field of acting. But such was her charm and acting prowess, that it didn't take her long to achieve fame and success, and bagged a role of Salman Khan's sister in a massive blockbuster. Read on to know who this actress is.

Aashika Bhatia kicked off her journey as a child artist in the showbiz industry. Following her debut in the historical TV series Meera, Bhatia had featured in popular shows like Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke Aise Bhi, Parvarrish, and Hum Tum and Them. But it was the role in Sooraj R Barjatya's Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo, which gave her the opportunity to share onscreen space with Salman Khan. Aashika was picked for playing the role of Rajkumari Radhika Singh, Salman's on-screen sister. The film went on to become a commercial success, and earned over Rs 400 crore at the box office.

In 2020, Aashika took a break from acting. Reason? Aashika - while filming her web series Hum Tum And Them - suffered a leg injury in an accident. This made her step away from acting. While I was shooting my web series Hum Tum And Them, I injured my legs as I met with an accident while jumping. So, it's been like one and half years that I haven't taken up any projects in acting," she had told a publication.

With an impressive 6.5 million followers on Instagram, Aashika has been successful in establishing herself as a prominent influencer. Aashika had started her journey by churning out viral TikTok videos, which pushed her career to new heights. As an influencer, Aashika gives fans a sneak peek into her personal life, and often shares photos and videos from her travels and daily life.

Besides her professional achievements, Aashika has inspired many with her weight loss transformation. Aashika Bhatia had shed 12 kgs (from 62 kgs to 50 kgs) within a year. Earlier, Aashika was subjected to massive criticism and trolling for her weight. She was also body-shamed on social media. But nothing really stopped her from taking on the trolls, giving them fitting responses and motivating her fans with her confidence.

Aashika, besides dealing with body shaming, has also been mocked for her relationships. She was once in a relationship with influencer Satvik Sankhyan, and dated her best friend Roshan Gupta. But, following her second breakup, she was at the receving end for moving on swiftly.
