Riddhi Dogra, an insomniac
TNN, May 1, 2010, 12.00am ISTWe're used to TV actors collapsing on the sets and specially with the heat, it's almost expected from them. But not Riddhi Dogra. The actress, who's part of Laagi Tujhse Lagan, says that she can shoot non-stop for the show without batting an eyelid.
Recently, the shoot of her show was extended and except for Ridhi, everyone wanted to pack up. "I was so full of energy that I was okay when the shoot got extended too. I think I got a lot of curses that day!" she laughs. Riddhi is almost an insomniac, as she confesses, "I have always been like this. I do not need much sleep at all. There have been times when I have worked for 24 hours at-a-stretch and yet not felt the need to crash. Usually I can do with just about four to five hours of sleep. Though my body may need sleep, I can just go on and on. It is like mind over matter," chirps the girl. Though she is a late riser, she doesn't mind getting up if it's needed. "I am working out these days and no matter what time I go to sleep, I am up very early in the morning for exercising," she says.
