Sayantani Ghosh

Sayantani Ghosh aka Kakul of Ghar Ek Sapna fell ill while paragliding for a four-day honeymoon sequence that was shot in Goa. The actress, who was supposed to do the sequence with co-actor Ujjwal Rana, was shocked when she found out that she had to do it alone.

Sayantani, who has a phobia for heights, fell ill after her paragliding session.

Says Sayantani," We were shooting for a honeymoon sequence in Goa. I had no option, I had to shoot for it alone. I was not at all mentally prepared as I had never done this before. Before I could realise what was happening, I was up in the air."

She shudders as she recalls, "I kept my eyes shut all the through the sequence that lasted 20 minutes. When I landed, I completely broke down. I threw up and fell unconscious and couldn't shoot after that."

Nilesh Inamdar, executive producer of the show, confirms that Sayantani was petrified before shooting for the sequence. He says, "We had an outdoor shoot in Goa. Sayantani got very scared when she learnt that she would have to go for paragliding alone. She had tears in her eyes when she came down. Obviously, she couldn't shoot for the rest of the day."
