Mukti shares room wid Prerna:Article

While starry tantrums have always made news, few people are aware that many small screen actors actually bond with each other over their makeup vans and rooms. Some time back, actress Soha Ali Khan had to vacate her makeup room for co-star Shahid Kapur while they were shooting together for a film. But, this has not been the case with most TV stars.

Actress Sai Deodhar who recently shot for Kasauti Zindagi Kay, which is her first serial with Balaji Telefilms, said, "I really don't have any problems with sharing the makeup rooms with any of my colleagues nor do I throw any tantrums. I have also seen the lead stars share the makeup rooms without any qualms."

She adds, "While Balaji looks after its stars well, there have been times when small budgets films can't afford the cost of makeup rooms and we've got to make do with vans." Television artistes like Ronit Roy who plays Mr Bajaj in Kasauti... shares the makeup room with Cezanne Khan who plays Anurag Basu in the serial and his biggest competitor in the plot of the serial. Ram Kapoor who made a comeback with the show Kasamh Se for Zee TV says, "I don't have any problems with sharing the same makeup room. It really doesn't matter with whom I share it. It increases the camaraderie too in a way."

Tina Parakh who stars in Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki and Kasauti Zindagi Kay shares her experience saying, "In Kahani.... generally a group of people sit together and everyone does their makeup. It's like a group activity. When I am shooting for Kasauti, I generally share the room with Shweta Tiwari."

Mrinal Deshraj who plays Shipra Arora in Kahiin To Hoga has a different say on sharing the make room. She says, "Balaji has been the best production house I have ever worked for. It looks after the comforts of the stars and gives them the best facilities. Since Balaji has its own studios, so the porduction house makes it a point to provide us with airconditioned makeup vans where we can even take a nap. We have been sharing the rooms with colleagues and yet the experience is that of comfort, not competition or ego hassles."
