| Ronit Roy fainted while rehearsing on an empty stomach, for Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. 'No pain, no gain', he says | |
Ronit Roy collapsed on the sets of Sony's Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa on Monday, while shooting for the third episode which will be telecast today. Roy had to lift his dance partner Nicole, and in doing so, he fell on the ground.
The 40-plus actor has been preparing with great gusto for the dance show. In his bid to get a move right, the actor ended up straining himself so much that he fainted. The shooting had to be stopped for some time. Later, Ronit had also to shoot for the promos, for which he managed to barely pose.
Says an eye-witness, "We were very worried when Ronit fainted. He was breathing very heavily and his pulse was racing. We have a doctor on the set, who attended to him. Thereafter, he was made to lie on the sofa for an hour. Amita Basu (producer Siddharth Basu's wife) tended to him."
"Lifting Nicole was not easy. Ronit is a terrific dancer. His commitment is great. It got a bit too much that day, he needs to take it a bit easy," the source adds.
When contacted, Roy says that he had developed stomach cramps. "I was breathing heavily. The doctor checked my blood pressure. But luckily, everything was normal. It took me some time to regain normalcy and I just about managed to shoot for the promos," he said.
"I hadn't eaten anything since morning. If you want to give 100 per cent to your dance, you can't do so with a heavy stomach. When my turn came to perform, it was 5.30 p.m. I guess dancing on an empty stomach took its toll. I don't know why but I was also feeling a bit dehydrated that day," he concludes, but not before adding, "It's okay. Such things happen. I am fine now and raring to go for the fourth episode. No pain, no gain."
