Preeti Amin shoots for 24 hours continuously

Preeti Amin, who plays Jia in Jhoome Jiiya Re, recently shot for almost 24 hours continuously as she had to go on a holiday to Hyderabad to celebrate her birthday. However, at that end of it all, she was expectedly very exhausted and almost missed her flight.

Revealing details about her hectic schedule that day, she tells us, "I had to go to Hyderabad for my birthday but at the same time I had to finish off a lot of stuff including shooting for bank episodes. In the morning at 6 I was at Dadar for some personal work then I had to rush to Madh Island to shoot. I reached there at 8.30 because of traffic and continued shooting till1: 30 in the night. In between I completed my dubbing at Andheri so basically I was travelling and shooting the whole day."

Preeti had to give some close up shots but says that she did not even realize what she was doing. "I asked my director to do the scenes again but he could make out from my face that I was worn out and told me that it was ok. However, I insisted that I was fine and then we did retakes for some scenes."

The actress visited Hyderabad for her birthday but not without a few hiccups. "After coming back from the shoot, I had to take my luggage and run to catch the flight at 7 o' clock in the morning and somehow made it. For nearly 24 hours I was awake and when I reached Hyderabad, my family and friends wanted me to celebrate. But I was so sleepy that I told them to enjoy and just watched everything."

While Preeti is not complaining about her hectic life she admits it is tough. "I want fame and money and this is a part and parcel of our job but we do feel work pressure. Shooting for daily shows is not easy as we had to do day and night shifts. Sometimes after doing heavy or crying scenes I go in depression and a get headache."

How does she cope with the pressure? "We have a good unit, they serve us good food. Then, on the sets, when we feel bored we crack jokes and try to relax. I have a habit of imitating people so I try to do that on the sets sometimes. We have given pet names to everyone so we tease each other and gossip on the sets. There is only male in our show so we female rule and rag him a lot!"

Preeti has done many films down south. She entered television through Kasamh Se, where she played the role of Laxmi (Jai Walia's niece).
