Shruti injured at work
Actress Tina Parakh has to reorganise her schedule
Reena Thapar Kapoor
It is one thing to be working round-the-clock dillegently, but it quite another when the excess hours catch up with you resulting in ill-health. For Tina Parakh (better known as Shruti of Kahani Ghar Ghar Kii), work was proceeding as usual while she balanced her schedules of Kahani… and Kasauti Zindagi Kii simultaneously; until the point when she sprained her arm.
"I've just been living out of my suitcases," she says. Workaholic that she is, Parakh did not seem to mind the extra working hours till the excesses caught up with her while she was on a double shift for both her 'K' serials a couple of days ago.
On Friday night when she was shooting late, Parakh suddenly experienced a shooting pain in her right arm. "It only got worse after a few hours and I was in deep pain," she says.
The actress however chose not to wind up the shoot. "I'm not quite sure what precipitated this pain, but I was so involved with my scenes that I probably did not realise that I had sprained my arm," adds Parakh.
Parakh was taken to a specialist the following morning. "The doctor advised physiotherapy for a couple of days and I have been asked to take it easy. But knowing me that I am, taking a break is unlikely," she says. In spite of her sprained arm, Parakh is looking ravishing after knocking off those extra pounds she had put on last year. "I've lost a considerable amount of weight but there is a still some more to go before I start flaunting my curves," she laughs.
