Tejasswi Prakash who plays the lead in Sony TV's Rishta Likhenge Hum Naya, had to learn sword fighting, and the actress says swinging swords is not easy at all.

As per the narrative of the show, her character Diya, on account of her promise, is the protector of Ratan Maan Singh (played by Rohit Suchanti), wherein it is her responsibility to defend him against all dangers.

To prepare for the role, Tejasswi underwent rigorous training for several action sequences. She will also be seen performing a 360-degree cartwheel stunt wearing a lehenga.

Talking more about her experience Tejasswi said, "It was quite challenging to shoot the entire sword fighting sequence, especially a 360-degree cartwheel in a fully decked up heavy lehenga and jewelery. However, we got the perfect shot in a few takes and the scene has come out really well."

"Dodging and swinging swords is not a child's play as the swords are heavy. I have worked really hard and a huge credit goes to the training workshop, as it helped me a lot in preparing for this challenging role. In fact, the audience will see me performing several action stunts in the episodes to come and I am looking forward to everyone's reaction to the new me," she added.
