Piya Ka Ghar's Mantra to take a break from the show

….after she fainted recently on the sets

Kanika Maheshwari, who plays Mantra in the Zee soap Piya Ka Ghar, is all set to take a break from the show due to health reasons. She fainted during the shooting of the show and has been found to be underweight – she is just 38 kgs. Zee officials confirm that her character will slowly be eased out.

When contacted, Maheshwari informed, "I have not been feeling well but I am not leaving the show. I would like to take a break and the creative head of the Zee have been very kind to let me take the break. These hectic schedules have taken their toll on me. I am sure they've planned something for me."

Maheshwari was surprised when we questioned her about her fainting spell. "How did you know? Yes, I fainted on the show and everyone was scared. There was panic on the sets and the doctor wal called for. He checked my blood pressure and gave me a couple of injections. After that the Zee people dropped me home. I am shooting now as I have also committed to Reth and CID. But I am just shooting for 3-4 hours and everyone is kind enough to understand this. I have lost so much weight. In fact I am just 38 kgs now. But you know what the shifts are like in television. We have to work from 8 am 10 pm, du to thepressure."

Speaking about her track in Piya Ka Ghar, Maheshwari says, "I am going to miss the show. You would not believe this, but people loved to hate me, as I played a negative character. In fact people come up to me and say 'God will never forgive you for troubling Rimjim on the show'."

This Delhi girl who came to Mumbai a couple of years ago and started her TV career with Kahani Ghar Ghai Ki is thrilled about her stint with CID, "I play Sachin Sharma's girlfriend, and the track next week will be very interesting. It's so thrilling, people will love it."
