Krish Tanwar and Megha Gupta Five-year-old Krish Tanwar is the centre of attention on the sets of Main Teri Parchhain Hoon. Krish, who's playing Sachin in the show, is unable to take the hectic shooting schedules of the daily soap. He gets cranky, thanks to the long hours and several retakes and often falls asleep. The production unit has no choice but to keep him awake during the shoot. Now, the unit has employed a person to take care of the kid. Says a unit member,"You can't expect a five-year-old child to have so much energy. As he has to do a lot of retakes, he gets exhausted and often falls asleep. There have been times, when he has fallen asleep during the shoot." The unit member adds, "When he gets irritated with retakes, he says, 'Itni baar to de diya, ab kya dun'. As Krish forms a crucial part of the show, we have assigned a person to look after him. He is everybody's darling on the sets and his wishes are always fulfilled be it a joyride on a bike or a chocolate." Krish reports to work at 3 p.m on weekdays, however, on weekends he shoots the whole day. Says lead actress of the show, Megha Gupta aka Aanchal, "Krish is simply a treat to watch. Once for a particular shot, Krish was supposed to sit on my lap. However, as soon as he sat on my lap, he fell asleep finding it very comfortable. Since he was in no mood to shoot, we had to have several retakes."
