Daily soaps are a blessing: Seerat Kapoor from Prateek Sharma's Rabb Se Hai Dua

Seerat Kapoor, who is currently seen as Mannat in Prateek Sharma’s Studio LSD’s Rabb Se Hai Dua on ZEE TV, believes that daily soaps are a blessing for any actor because they give them instant fame and make them a household name.

She said, “I believe that for an actor, daily soaps are a blessing. Not only because of the regular income but also because of the things you learn during this time. The kind bonds you create and the kind relationship that you build with the audience are precious.”

However, she agrees that working around the clock can sometimes take a toll on an actor’s health, but she believes a positive approach, a healthy diet, and proper rest can be helpful. “The daily grind of daily soaps does put a strain on our health, especially because we don’t get the time to exercise daily. And with the changing weather, we have to eat right, drink a lot of water, and take proper rest. I try and walk on the sets in between my takes just to keep my body in rhythm,” Seerat said.

But what about night shoots? “We are lucky that we haven’t had many night shoots in this show yet; it would be much more difficult for me as I am not a night owl. Even in my personal life, I prefer to go to bed on time,” she said.

Seerat also shared that daily soap is a full-time job and sometimes getting holidays is quite tricky, but she is happy to be working with some amazing co-actors who make it all worthwhile. 

“Daily soap is pretty hectic since it’s a 12 hour work schedule, but when you love your work so much, you find it exciting and challenging. We spend more than half of our day at the shoot, so it is a blessing to have family-like coworkers who make everything easier,” she said.
