<p>"I keep joking that the pace of my life has been so hectic ever since high school. From Class 12, when I was a science student, till date it has only been a hectic pace and that's the only pace perhaps my body knows now," Aishwarya told IANS over phone from Mumbai.<br /><br />This year has been particularly hectic for the 36-year-old actor thanks to the release of her films - "Raavan", "Robot", "Action Replayy" and "Guzaarish" in quick succession.<br /><br />There has been so much jet-setting in and out of the country and travelling within India for the promotion of her films that Aishwarya fell slightly ill. But she is not complaining.<br />"Come on! I'm okay now. If you think work pressure has affected me, how would you explain Hrithik (Roshan) getting unwell after doing just two films in two years? I just got a day's fever and I'm all raring to go," she said.<br /><br />Aishwarya is now looking forward to some relaxing time. "It's almost the end of November and very little of December is left. I had deliberately kept a little part of December off...because since 2008 I have been working continuously.<br /><br />"Doing five films - 'Raavan', 'Raavanan', 'Robot', 'Action Replayy' and 'Guzaarish' - has been mammoth. Hrithik keeps joking about my plight and says he did just 'Guzaarish' all this while, apart from 'Kites'. But, yes, I did all that work and also promoted those films. Now I need a break ...so a bit of an off in December and then further work next year," she said.<br /><br />She is still in talks with filmmakers on her future projects and will be able to announce developments around February next year.<br /><br />"There have been talks. Producers are working out the scheduling, and then the announcements will be made. I was going to sign up for two films to do this winter, but I declined them because I had commitments with all my directors of the film releases this year. The next lot of offers will materialise post-February and March, and will continue beyond next Christmas," said Aishwarya.<br /><br />So she wants to make the most of her holiday period with husband Abhishek Bachchan and all her family members.<br /><br />"Spending time together itself is quite a holiday for me. It doesn't matter where we are. We will just be happy to make that time together and that we will make sure we do," she said.<br /><br />For now, Aishwarya is just waiting to get the audience reaction to Sanjay Leela Bhansali's just released "Guzaarish", in which she plays Sofia, a nurse to a paraplegic essayed by Hrithik.<br /><br />"It is my final release of this year...and what a special film to share with our audience! My character Sofia is very special. The kind of capacity, strength, resilience, commitment, empathy and unconditional love that she has for a patient just takes this character to a different realm altogether," said Aishwarya.<br /><br /></p>
