Acting is proving to be tough going for Kanica Maheshwari, who plays the character Rajkumari Bhoomi in 'Raja Ki Aayegi Barat' on Star Plus.

Kanica has been facing some difficult demands from her character. The latest storyline is in a village where she has to enact scenes like falling into a khichad and milking a cow. We spoke to her and got her views about the latest challenges.

"We have some sequences that require me to undergo hardships." said Kanica. "We have shifted our shooting spot to a village where I need to shoot for scenes like being in middle of five to six cows, milking the cow and picking up cow dung. In fact, after finishing my shots, I used to go home and puke. I was really scared initially and thought, I would get kicked by these cows while milking but luckily, I was not hurt. I had to also do 'chakki pisso', an old ritual and scenes where atta and haldi covered me completely from head to toe. It got really messy and itchy most of the time."

She continued: "These scenes are completely different from wearing rich costumes and acting. But everyone around me had a good time laughing and I am glad that I was able to do that. My character Bhoomi and I are not different but I just wish that these tracks in the story get over as soon as possible.

"It was really hard and I used to get irritated while doing those scenes but that irritation was required in the scenes which came out naturally for me," added Kanica. "I have put in a lot of effort for this and in return, I just want the audience to enjoy it. At the moment, I just need some appreciation and nothing else. I hope the pain taken is worth it."

Well done Kanica, acting is not all peaches and cream, you know!
