Jigyasa: I was so frustrated that I wanted to quit 'Thapki'
The rigours of working on television are clearly getting to 21-year-old Jigyasa Singh. The actress, who made her debut two months ago with the show 'Thapki Pyaar Ki', confesses that she was so depressed initially that she wanted to quit the show.
She says, "Since it is my first show, I could not adjust to the long working hours initially. I was feeling homesick, did not look after myself and lost eight kilos in two months. But now, slowly, I have started understanding how the industry works and I am enjoying myself."

Jigyasa, who came to Mumbai from Jaipur, puts in almost 20 hours of work at times. "But it's fine because I live as a paying guest in a flat close to Film City, so I don't have to spend time traveling. Though it was a culture shock initially, now I am liking the city."
