Not backing down

Television actors, especially those working in daily soaps, are prone to falling ill but that never deters them from stopping their work. Another name has been added to the list of brave hearts. Rati Pandey, aka Prarthana of Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hai fame, continues shooting despite suffering from a severe back pain.

"I've been suffering from spondylitis for a long time. It has flared up again. After shooting for 8 hours, my back really hurts. During this time, I take short breaks but continue shooting, says Rati.

If the pain is that severe then why doesn't she take any treatment? Rati replies, "My doctor has advised me physiotherapy but where do I have the time for it. I'm playing the lead and have to show up everyday. My producers are kind enough to delay the shoot whenever I feel the pain."

Her producers are right in delaying the shoot but let's hope that Rati doesn't further delay her treatment or else she might not be able to endure the consequences.
