Are our actors overworked?

Definately! Going by what poor Aastha Chaudhry's going through, it sure looks like; all work no play for the poor little leading actress of our popular small screen siren Ratna Sinha's Babul Ka Angann Chootney Na. Because we hear that after a grinding schedule of over five months, the production house has been benevolent and kind enough to grace her leave of mere five days!

Yes, you heard us right! Five days...someone ought to tell them that this isn't slave labour. And we all know the rigours that the daily soap takes out of you. It's back to back shooting schedules.

And, if you thought that it was 'putting up your feet and watching the day pass by kinda vacation', you cannot be far from the truth.

Because, we hear that she's tucked away in our hometown and a constant stream of visitors seem to want to share a piece of her glamourous life.

A word of advice to the production house; Treat your stars well or they would have a Juhi Parmar situation in their hands. And then, it would be mayhem all the way through
