In an interview, Ashita talked about her appearance in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and said,
I am not at liberty to divulge much about my character. All I can say is that I have been waiting for a part like this for a long time. What’s interesting is that like all my previous shows with Rajan sir, in this one, too, I will have a takia kalaam (catchphrase). While in ‘Bidaai’, it was ‘jhooth toh main bolti nahi’ and ‘jag ki jaane saanwra Jaipur ki jaane saanwri’ in ‘Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya’, in ‘YRKKH’, it is ‘mere parlour ki saugandh’. I am looking forward to being a part of the show.”

Facts/Trivia
- In an interview, she shared an incident that happened when she was working for the television drama Bidaai. She said,
Long back, when my grandmother was unwell, in those days I was shooting for Bidaai. I got a call that she has just few minutes left. My then onscreen father-in-law Alok ji convinced me to leave the shoot right away and advised me to go and meet her in the hospital. I immediately left the shoot and while I was on my way to hospital my executive producer called me several times to finish chunk of scenes, so without realizing I took U turn and returned back to my shoot. I received a call just after few minutes that my grandmother is no more. I still feel the guilt for taking that U-turn.”
- She follows a non-vegetarian diet.

- In an interview, Ashita Dhawan said that she wanted to be a Radio Jockey. She further added,
From childhood, I have had this fascination for Radio Jockeying. I have imagined myself in my room as an RJ and have stood in front of the mirror jabbering away like one. I’m doing two back-to-back interviews on radio, today and tomorrow with Radio Mirchi. I never dreamed of being on the other side but however, I’m glad that I’m getting to visit the studio.”
- In an interview, Ashita Dhawan talked about allegations against her co-actor Alok Nath and defended him. Ashita Dhawan said,
Why did she not have the courage to take a stand then. Either, one resolves the matter or takes it to court but she chose not to do anything of that sort for so long. Also if at all has happened then she should take this fight of hers till the end and not only for 15-20 days just because it is the trend now. This doesn’t make sense to me. You know it is because of such people that the actual #MeToo cases get sidelined.”- She is often spotted consuming alcohol on various occasions.
